How to Use This Newtown, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newtown, 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 Newtown.

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.

About Newtown, Pennsylvania

Newtown is a locality in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,268. The population density is 1580.6 people per km². Newtown is located at 40.2283°N, 74.9323°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Newtown is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 17981, 15145, 18702.

Newtown sits upon the high, firm earth of a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Clapboard Run, which carves a quiet path through the local topography. It lies 3.6 miles east-northeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 68°T), and is situated 5.3 miles east-northeast of Westmont. The air here carries a crisp, inland clarity, far removed from the humid heaviness of any distant shore, and the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Allegheny Mountains. To the north, the terrain rises into the deep, quiet expanses of State Forest Lands, while closer to the center, the waters of Winding Staircase Falls provide a constant, low-frequency hum that anchors the stillness of the afternoon. As the sun moves behind the western ridges, the light catches the iron-rich soil of the region, casting long, amber shadows across the open fields that stretch toward the basin of Soap Hollow.

Newtown bears the quiet weight of its long-standing presence in the region, a place where the economy has shifted from early agricultural roots to a modern, deliberate pace of life. Residents often gather at Lexington Avenue Park, a local space that serves as the social meridian for those who walk the neighborhood paths or seek a moment of reprieve near the water’s edge. While the proximity of Hinckston Run Reservoir offers a stable, glassy mirror to the sky, the true character of Newtown reveals itself in the everyday industry of its streets and the preservation of its older, brick-fronted architecture. Those inclined toward longer journeys often head toward the Roger Mountain Trail, finding that the distance traveled provides a necessary perspective on the enduring, steady pulse of life in this part of the world.

About This Newtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newtown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.228344, -74.932293. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Newtown includes the ZIP code (17981, 15145, 18702), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Cambria County (Ebensburg), and school district assignment (Council Rock School District).

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.
