How to Use This Rossiter, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Rossiter, Pennsylvania

Rossiter is a locality in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 537. The population density is 109.9 people per km². Rossiter is located at 40.8945°N, 78.9311°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15772, 15767.

Rossiter holds its place upon the Allegheny Plateau, a quiet expanse where the land rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth and woodland. It lies 22.1 miles north-northeast of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 31°T), and is situated 4.0 miles south-southeast of Punxsutawney. The air here feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and ancient leaf mold, a reminder that the distant Allegheny Mountains stand as a jagged, blue-shadowed boundary against the horizon. Beneath the canopy of hardwoods, the terrain remains unhurried, defined by the steady, persistent flow of Canoe Creek, which carves a narrow path through the valley floor. Only a few miles away, the surface of Straight Run Lake mirrors the shifting gray light of the sky, offering a stillness that seems to permeate the very stones of the local landscape.

Industrial ambition once shaped the rhythm of Rossiter, leaving behind the quiet echoes of coal extraction that defined its early settlement and fostered a rugged, stoic independence among its inhabitants. Today, the pace of life has slowed, shifting from the frantic extraction of the past to a more contemplative existence marked by the transition of seasons and the maintenance of local heritage. The Mahoning Shadow Trail serves as a modern artery, repurposing old rail lines into a corridor for those who wish to traverse the quiet woods and reclaimed fields. In the quiet corners of the village, the legacy of these laborers remains, visible in the brick facades and the sturdy, unadorned architecture that stands as a humble witness to the generations who carved a life from this inland earth.

About This Rossiter Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rossiter, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.894508, -78.931144. 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 Rossiter includes the ZIP code (15772, 15767), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Indiana County (Indiana), and school district assignment (Punxsutawney 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.
