Explore Rew, 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 Rew, 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 Rew.
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.

Rew unfolds where the North Branch Cole Creek carves a steady, silver path through the dense, verdant terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 32.7 miles north of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 2°T), and is situated 5.8 miles north of McKean. The landscape is defined by the deep, shadowed creases of Pratt Hollow and a horizon that holds the distant, hazy suggestion of the Allegheny Mountains far to the south. Here, the air carries a crisp, earthen weight, smelling of damp shale and the slow decay of leaf litter that blankets the ground beneath the heavy canopy. Light in Rew often arrives filtered and cool, catching the edges of the hardwoods as they transition from the verdant greens of summer into the rusted, brittle hues of the closing year, while the silence of the woods is punctuated only by the rhythmic, unceasing movement of the creek.
Industry in Rew has long been tethered to the stubborn, mineral-rich earth, echoing a history of extraction that shaped the quiet, pragmatic character of the people who reside here. While the pace of daily life is measured by the steady shift of seasons rather than the frantic pulse of a city, the proximity to the outdoors remains a constant, with residents often looking toward the nearby Hilltop Community Park or the deeper reaches of the Susquehanna State Forest for respite. Even the occasional traveler passing through might recognize the enduring influence of the region’s resource-driven past in the way the local architecture keeps its head down against the wind. Life in Rew persists with a singular, grounded focus, maintaining its identity in the quiet spaces between the reservoir’s still water and the persistent, flowing cold of the local streams.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rew, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.901452, -78.53919. 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 Rew includes the ZIP code (16701, 16744), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of McKean County (Smethport), and school district assignment (Bradford 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.
