How to Use This Riceville, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Riceville, Pennsylvania

Riceville is a locality in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 58. The population density is 52.0 people per km². Riceville is located at 41.7776°N, 79.8028°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 16404, 16432.

Riceville occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land rises in slow, deliberate swells of heavy earth and hardwood timber. It lies 20.3 miles east-northeast of Meadville, PA (from Meadville, PA: bearing 62°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south-southeast of Union City. Oil Creek carves a winding path through the local topography, its dark, reflective current serving as a constant companion to the fields and thickets that define the immediate horizon. Beyond the local woodlots, the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a faint, jagged smudge against the sky, too far to claim the climate but close enough to dictate the lingering chill of the autumn mornings. Travelers here often note how the light at dusk catches the damp soil of the nearby State Game Land 199, turning the undergrowth into a tapestry of deep bronze and muted slate.

Riceville remains tethered to the rhythms of an economy built upon the sturdy traditions of the plateau, where the legacy of extraction and small-scale agriculture persists in the quiet maintenance of fence lines and machinery. The proximity of Lake Canadohta, just three miles to the north, offers a seasonal respite from the labor of the fields, while the vast expanse of the Fish Flats six miles away provides a flat, open counterpoint to the broken, forested terrain surrounding the settlement. Daily life in Riceville adheres to a measured pace, governed more by the changing seasonal temperatures and the maintenance of local roads than by the frantic pace of the larger industrial centers to the south. There is a particular clarity to the air here, a crispness that suggests the land is still recovering its strength from the cycles of the past, holding its own against the encroachment of modern haste.

About This Riceville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riceville, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.777558, -79.80283. 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 Riceville includes the ZIP code (16404, 16432), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Crawford County (Meadville), and school district assignment (Union City 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.
