How to Use This Petersburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Petersburg emerges from the low, shadowed creases of the landscape where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Shaver Creek dictates the orientation of the valley floor. It lies 18.1 miles south-southwest of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 213°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north-northwest of Huntingdon. The current of Shaver Creek carves a deliberate path through the earth, cooling the air as it moves past the modest structures of Petersburg and toward the deeper basin of Teaberry Hollow. To the west, the distant, hazy spine of the Allegheny Mountains marks the horizon, standing as a silent sentinel over the dense canopy of the Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest. Within the immediate vicinity, the landscape softens into the quiet, functional geometry of Petersburg Playground, a space that serves as a common anchor for those residing in the valley. A few miles away, the stillness of Petersburg Reservoir collects the sky in its depths, offering a point of reflection amidst the timber and the rising slopes.

History in Petersburg remains etched into the modest stone foundations and the enduring layout of its streets, which once served the needs of an agrarian economy tethered to the land’s natural drainage and timber resources. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the seasonal transformation of the surrounding woods and the persistent, quiet labor required to maintain a life in the interior of the state. While the broader industrial echoes of the region occasionally drift through the valley, Petersburg retains a character defined by the singular persistence of its local topography and the slow, deliberate pace of its inhabitants. Residents often find their way toward the Round Top Trail, traversing the uneven ground to gain a vantage point over the fields and thickets that have defined the settlement since its inception.
