How to Use This Smith Corner, Pennsylvania Map

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

About Smith Corner, Pennsylvania

Smith Corner is a locality in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 38. The population density is 564.3 people per km². Smith Corner is located at 40.3576°N, 78.4889°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16637.

Smith Corner emerges from the dense, folded landscape of the Allegheny Plateau, where the South Dry Run carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the silt and limestone of the valley floor. It lies 12.2 miles south-southwest of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 204°T), and is situated 7.1 miles southwest of Hollidaysburg. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains, which press against the sky like the knuckles of a giant hand. Sunlight here has a particular, heavy clarity, turning the fields of dried corn stalks into brittle copper in the late afternoon. To the west, the terrain rises into the quiet, wooded ridges that lead toward the expansive territory of State Game Land 198, where the silence is broken only by the sharp, sudden clatter of a startled grouse. The air carries a scent of damp earth and cooling mineral stone, a reminder that the land remains perpetually shaped by the slow, persistent work of the creek.

Smith Corner serves as a quiet anchor for the surrounding agricultural holdings, its history rooted in the grit of small-scale milling and the slow accumulation of rural homesteads. While the local economy has transitioned away from the heavy industry that defined the wider region’s past, the influence of the earth persists in the way the residents measure their seasons by the harvest and the changing color of the hardwoods. A few miles away, the waters of Plain Nine Reservoir offer a stillness that contrasts with the seasonal bustle of the nearby fields, while the gateway to Wolf Hollow provides a natural corridor for those moving through the rugged interior. Life in Smith Corner moves with the deliberate pace of a pendulum, indifferent to the frantic speed of the wider world, favoring instead the steady, repetitive tasks of maintaining a fence line or waiting for the frost to finally release the soil.

About This Smith Corner Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smith Corner, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.357574, -78.488904. 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 Smith Corner includes the ZIP code (16637), 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.
