Explore Queen, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Queen, 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 Queen.
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.

Queen emerges from the intersection of rolling agricultural fields and the persistent, low-slung geography of the Pennsylvania interior. It lies 18.9 miles south-southwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 198°T), and is situated 8.1 miles southwest of Roaring Spring. Beaverdam Creek carves a narrow, silver-hued artery through the landscape, its waters maintaining a constant, rhythmic pulse against the weathered stones that define the local terrain. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, particularly in the late afternoon when the light stretches long and thin across the meadows, illuminating the quiet transition toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains. Within the immediate vicinity, Kimmel Township Community Park offers a modest expanse of open ground where the soil remains dark and fertile, reflecting a heritage shaped by the steady, unadorned labor of the land.
History in Queen remains inextricably linked to the patient cultivation of these hills and the modest industry that once fueled the regional economy. The persistence of local farming practices and the quiet endurance of homesteads speak to a character forged by seasonal cycles rather than the rapid shifts of urban expansion. While the depths of Wolf Hollow provide a sheltered corridor for wildlife and the dense, timbered reaches of Babcock State Forest remain a short journey away, the daily pace of life stays tethered to the fundamental realities of the soil. Residents move with a deliberate attention to the land, recognizing that the proximity of Portage Reservoir and the surrounding ridges serves as both a boundary and a source of quiet stability in an ever-changing world.

Detailed location data for Queen includes the ZIP code (16670, 16322, 16856), 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.
