How to Use This Smithmill, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Smithmill occupies a quiet reach of land where the Little Muddy Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth. It lies 16.7 miles north of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 355°T), and is situated 18.5 miles south of Clearfield. The surrounding terrain rises in steady, wooded swells that suggest the looming presence of the Allegheny Mountains, which stand like a dark, serrated spine eighteen miles to the west. In the stillness of the afternoon, the air holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of damp shale and decaying leaves from the dense canopy of State Game Land 060, which envelopes the perimeter of the locality. The light here filters through the trees in thin, pale shafts, illuminating the slate-colored surfaces of the creek bed and the uneven, frost-heaved ground that defines the local topography.

Smithmill carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the extraction of the earth’s hidden stores, a legacy that lingers in the weathered foundations and the deep, silent cuts in the landscape. The economic pulse of the region has long been tied to the rhythm of the soil and the grit of the hills, far removed from the busy industrial centers that define the wider plateau. Residents often turn toward the solitude of the woods or the quiet waters of Tipton Reservoir, seeking a respite that feels as old as the rocks themselves. Even as the pace of the modern day asserts itself, Smithmill maintains a stoic, unadorned character, reflecting a history shaped by the labor of those who looked to the ridges of Dotts Hollow and the surrounding wilderness for their livelihood.

About This Smithmill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smithmill, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.76, -78.42. 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 Smithmill includes the ZIP code (16680), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Clearfield County (Clearfield), and school district assignment.

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.
