Explore Sickles Corner, 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 Sickles Corner, 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 Sickles Corner.
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.

Sickles Corner emerges from the limestone-flecked earth where the Sinking Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the quiet bedrock. It lies 6.4 miles east-northeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 67°T), and is situated 8.4 miles south-southwest of Tyrone. Dense woodlands characterize the immediate periphery, providing a verdant buffer that leads toward the expansive boundaries of State Game Land 166. To the west, the skyline is anchored by the blue, serrated silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, a constant presence that gathers the afternoon shadows long before the sun disappears from the valley floor. The air here holds a crisp, mineral clarity, often carrying the scent of damp shale and cooling leaf litter as the light shifts into the long, amber glow of dusk.
Sickles Corner maintains a quiet relationship with the land, reflecting the persistent, industrious character of the broader region where agriculture and modest enterprise have long dictated the pace of the calendar. While the nearby Logan Valley once served as a conduit for regional transit and commerce, this locality retains a self-contained stillness, buffered from the rush of larger hubs by the surrounding ridges. Residents often look toward the waters of Kettle Reservoir for recreation or quiet reflection, a mirror for the sky that remains largely undisturbed by modern artifice. Life in Sickles Corner proceeds through the steady repetition of seasonal work and the maintenance of homesteads that have stood through cycles of change, preserving a sense of endurance that mirrors the ancient, unyielding geology beneath the soil.

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.
