Explore Starford, 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 Starford, 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 Starford.
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.

Starford occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau, where the North Branch Two Lick Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the heavy, loam-rich earth. It lies 11.6 miles east-northeast of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 61°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-northwest of Northern Cambria. The landscape here does not reach for the sky in jagged peaks, though the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Allegheny Mountains offer a steadying presence on the horizon to the east. Five miles away, the waters of Laurel Run Lake collect the runoff of the seasons, mirroring the slate-gray clouds that often drift low over the fields. The air here holds a distinct, cool weight, smelling of damp shale and the deep, silent growth of timber, while the light at dusk turns the local canopy into a bruised, copper-colored haze that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the rise.
Starford grew from the gritty, industrious pulse of the coal era, an identity still etched into the wide, unhurried streets and the sturdy, unadorned architecture that defines the local silhouette. Life maintains a deliberate pace, moving between the remnants of old mining infrastructure and the modern quietude of the Green Township Ballfield, where the evening sounds of a game often carry across the open grass. The economy, once dictated by the dark veins of the earth, now shifts toward a slower rhythm of small-scale commerce and the stewardship of the surrounding woods. There is a profound, stoic beauty in the way Starford holds onto its history, finding a comfortable equilibrium where the old, industrial shadows soften into the daily routine of a place that asks for little and offers a grounded, honest stillness to those who walk its lanes.

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.
