How to Use This Shirleysburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Shirleysburg occupies a quiet expanse of the Pennsylvania landscape where the earth rises in long, deliberate folds. It lies 27.3 miles north-northwest of Chambersburg, PA (from Chambersburg, PA: bearing 336°T), and is situated 6.0 miles south of Mount Union. Fort Run cuts a narrow, shadowed path through the terrain, its waters moving with a persistent clarity that mirrors the stillness of the surrounding fields. Beyond the immediate banks, the land transitions into the open, pastoral stretches of Loves Valley, while the distant, hazy blue of the Appalachian Mountains marks the edge of the horizon. Residents often gather at the Shirleysburg Community Center Park, a space that anchors the locality and offers a vantage point to watch the light change as it settles against the trees. The air here holds a distinct, cool weight, particularly when the morning mist rises to meet the warmth of the day.

History lingers in the layout of the streets, reflecting an era when the pulse of the regional economy was tied to the steady output of the land and the transit of goods through the corridor. While the frantic pace of modern industry has largely bypassed the immediate vicinity, the legacy of earlier settlement remains visible in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried habits of those who call Shirleysburg home. A traveler might find a quieter pace by following the Butler Trail, which winds through the greenery, or by visiting the nearby Singers Gap Reservoir to observe the stillness of the water. Life in the shadow of the Tuscarora State Forest is defined by these small, recurring rhythms—the seasonal turn of the crops, the maintenance of long-held properties, and the quiet satisfaction of a place that keeps its own time.
