Explore New Washington, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Washington, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to New Washington.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

New Washington occupies a quiet crease in the landscape where the land rises in long, hushed swells toward the distant, hazy blue of the Allegheny Mountains. It lies 26.6 miles northwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 322°T), and is situated 19.8 miles southwest of Clearfield. Chest Creek carves a narrow, silver trajectory through the earth only a mile away, its presence marked by the cool, damp scent of shale and wet moss that drifts upward to soften the air. The terrain here is defined by the persistent architecture of the plateau, where the quality of light at dusk turns the timbered ridges into silhouettes of deep, bruised violet, casting shadows that stretch across the open fields until the day finally relents. To the west, the topography deepens into the quietude of Driscoll Hollow, while the waters of Irvona Reservoir hold the sky in a mirror of still, dark glass seven miles from the center of the village.
History in New Washington remains etched into the spare, functional geometry of the older buildings and the faded remnants of industry that once pulled a living from the stubborn soil. The local economy persists in a slow, deliberate rhythm, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger industrial corridors, favoring the steady labor of the land and the quiet maintenance of a life lived close to the seasons. Residents find a communal stillness at Curly Hurd Memorial Park, a sliver of preserved green space that acts as a focal point for the daily turning of the clock. Life here possesses the weight of long-standing tradition, where the passage of time is measured less by the noise of the modern world and more by the gradual shifting of the seasons over the timber and the steady, unceasing flow of the local creek.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
