How to Use This Point View, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Point View occupies a quiet meridian where the earth seems to hold its breath against the encroaching shadows of the distant Allegheny Mountains. It lies 29.0 miles west of Antrim Township, PA (from Antrim Township, PA: bearing 277°T), and is situated 19.2 miles southeast of Bedford. The landscape is defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of Indian Grave Run, which carves a narrow, winding path through the local topography, its waters reflecting the pale, thin light of an afternoon sun. Only a mile away, the expanse of State Game Land 128 offers a dense, unmanicured sanctuary of oak and maple, while the nearby Painter Den provides a sheltered basin that traps the evening mist. Those seeking to traverse the rugged terrain often find their way to the Big Flat Trail, a route that cuts through the wilder edges of the forest, far removed from the manicured lawns of suburban life.

Point View traces its lineage to the hard-bitten traditions of the plateau, where the local economy once leaned heavily upon the extraction of resources and the slow, deliberate work of the timber trade. While the industrial fervor of the past has softened into a quieter commerce, the legacy of that labor remains etched in the sturdy brick facades and the utilitarian architecture of the main thoroughfares. A stillness hangs over the streets here, broken only by the occasional passage of a heavy truck or the distant rustle of wind moving through the canopy toward Bear Pond. Life in Point View proceeds with an internal gravity, indifferent to the frantic pace of the wider world, favoring instead the steady, predictable turning of seasons that color the valley in shades of burnished copper and slate gray.
