How to Use This Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Roaring Spring emerges from the limestone bedrock as a sudden, effervescent surge of water that defines the character of the valley floor. It lies 12.6 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 179°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south of Hollidaysburg. This vigorous discharge, which once powered the early mills, now flows through the center of Roaring Spring, offering a constant, rhythmic pulse to the landscape. Beyond the immediate basin, the terrain rises into the defined ridges and valleys characteristic of the region, where the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains frames the horizon like a weathered spine. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light catches the limestone dust of the local quarries, turning the air a pale, chalky gray that softens the sharp edges of the surrounding slopes and the nearby greenery of North Park.

Industry has long been the primary current of life here, with the paper mill serving as the dominant economic anchor since the nineteenth century, its presence weaving through the generations of families who have called this place home. The legacy of these manufacturing roots persists in the solid, unadorned architecture of the village, where the daily pace is measured by the steady hum of machinery and the movement of freight. While the expansive water of the Hollidaysburg Reservoir remains six miles to the north and the modest path of Cabbage Creek continues its quiet meander just one mile away, the identity of Roaring Spring remains inextricably linked to the natural spring itself. Life here favors the practical and the enduring, a quiet persistence that mirrors the way the water continues its work, regardless of the changing seasons or the shifting demands of the modern world.

About This Roaring Spring Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.335909, -78.390847. 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 Roaring Spring includes the ZIP code (16673), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Blair County (Hollidaysburg), and school district assignment (Spring Cove 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.
