How to Use This Philipsburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Philipsburg anchors itself upon the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, where the dark, restless current of the Moshannon Creek carves a winding path through the landscape. It lies 20.1 miles west-northwest of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 291°T), and is situated 17.0 miles west-northwest of Park Forest Village. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling quickly as shadows lengthen across the uneven ground toward the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains. Only two miles to the west, the quiet surface of Emigh Lake reflects the gray, shifting sky, while the dense timber of Moshannon State Forest looms eleven miles beyond, a vast expanse of green that defines the horizon. Within the immediate borders of the town, the Homer Maney Memorial Field serves as a flat, open clearing, a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the sharp, rhythmic sounds of local play against the backdrop of deep, wooded valleys.

Philipsburg carries the weight of a long industrial narrative, having emerged from the coal and timber prosperity that once fueled the growth of the surrounding ridges. Traces of this heritage remain in the architectural bones of the buildings, where brick facades retain the soot-stained character of a harder, more industrious age. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive extraction of the past, the town retains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by the nearby depressions of Crowns Nest Hollow and the proximity of the Black Bear Trail for those seeking the solitude of the woods. Life in Philipsburg moves with a quiet constancy, defined by the changing seasons that paint the high country in shades of rust and slate, grounding its residents in a landscape that demands both labor and respect.

About This Philipsburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.89349, -78.21594. 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 Philipsburg includes the ZIP code (15419, 16866), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Centre County (Bellefonte), and school district assignment (Philipsburg-Osceola Area 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.
