How to Use This Osterburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Osterburg, Pennsylvania

Osterburg is a locality in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Osterburg is located at 40.1695°N, 78.5203°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16667.

Osterburg asserts its quiet presence across a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Bobs Creek, which carves a narrow, deliberate path through the surrounding fields. It lies 23.8 miles east-southeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 117°T), and is situated 19.1 miles south-southwest of Hollidaysburg. The land here rises in gentle, earth-toned swells that suggest the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, a constant backdrop that anchors the horizon in shades of slate and deep violet. To the west, the topography deepens into the basin known as The Kettle, where the morning mist clings to the low-lying grasses long after the sun has cleared the ridge. A short distance away, the dense, quiet expanse of Gallitzin State Forest provides a dark, verdant counterpoint to the open pastures, while the modest walking paths of Henderson Park offer a place for the wind to stir the leaves in the cool, inland air.

Osterburg grew from the sturdy, industrious roots of early settlers who recognized the value of the fertile soil and the reliable water supply provided by the local streams. The economy remains tied to the slow, seasonal pulse of agriculture and the small-scale trades that support a community built on long-held traditions of self-reliance. Life in Osterburg moves with the measured pace of a pendulum, where the turning of the seasons dictates the rhythm of the day more surely than any clock. On quiet afternoons, the light catches the surface of the distant Smith Reservoir, reflecting the vast, unbroken sky and reminding those who live here of the simple, enduring character of a place that values its own seclusion.

About This Osterburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Osterburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.169523, -78.520295. 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 Osterburg includes the ZIP code (16667), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Bedford County (Bedford), and school district assignment.

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.
