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 maintains a quiet, steady presence upon the high, forested terrain of the interior, where the land rises in deliberate, ancient swells. It lies 8.1 miles south-southwest of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 209°T), and is situated 6.0 miles south of Monessen. The Monongahela River carves a path through the landscape nearby, its dark, persistent current defining the flow of the local geography as it moves toward distant horizons. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains catch the fading violet light of dusk, casting long, cool shadows across the expanse. Closer at hand, the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Wood Run Hollow, while the dense, green reach of Forbes State Forest offers a vast, silent backdrop to the daily cycle of the region. Residents often find a moment of stillness at Peach Street Community Park, where the afternoon sun filters through the canopy, illuminating the simple, rugged character of the earth that defines this inland plateau.

Philipsburg carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, a heritage etched into the architecture of its brick buildings and the layout of its streets. The local economy, once deeply tied to the extraction of resources that fueled the expansion of the industrial age, now navigates a slower, more deliberate transition toward modern commerce. This shift has altered the rhythm of life, leaving behind a place that values its own endurance and the preservation of its mid-century character. While Indian Lake lies eighteen miles away as a distant reference point for recreation, the daily life of the population remains centered on the immediate, tangible reality of the town square and the surrounding woodland. There is a perceptible dignity in how Philipsburg manages its heritage, honoring the labor of the past while maintaining a grounded, unpretentious pace in the present day.

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 Washington County (Washington), 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.
