How to Use This Reightown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Reightown is a locality in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 378. The population density is 605.6 people per km². Reightown is located at 40.6023°N, 78.3333°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 16617, 16686.

Reightown occupies a narrow, quiet stretch of land defined by the persistent pulse of Bells Gap Run, which carves a path through the earth just steps from the center of activity. It lies 6.6 miles north-northeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 29°T), and is situated 6.9 miles southwest of Tyrone. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, cooling quickly as shadows lengthen across the surrounding expanse of the Allegheny Mountains, which rise in dark, serrated silhouettes against the evening sky. Only a mile away, the floor of Logan Valley levels out into a broad, fertile basin that catches the amber light of dusk, turning the fields into sheets of polished brass. Three miles to the east, the stillness of Bellwood Reservoir acts as a dark, glass-like mirror for the high pines, anchoring the landscape in a deep, reflective silence that seems to mute the mechanical hum of the modern world.

Reightown retains the deliberate, measured pace of a place built on the grit of the old industrial age, where the legacy of rail and labor remains etched into the very layout of the streets. The Bells Gap Railroad Trail serves as a quiet artery for the locality, repurposing the heavy iron history of the region into a path for morning walkers and those seeking the quiet solitude of the woods. Local life turns on the rhythm of the seasons rather than the frantic ticking of a clock, with the local economy shifting from the heavy extraction of the past toward a steady, low-key resilience. Here, the porches of modest, sturdy houses face the tracks, and the people of Reightown move with an unforced familiarity, their lives tethered to the steady, enduring geography of the valley floor and the looming, protective presence of the ridges above.
