How to Use This Sweden Valley, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Sweden Valley, Pennsylvania

Sweden Valley is a locality in Potter County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 197. The population density is 73.9 people per km². Sweden Valley is located at 41.7565°N, 77.9503°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16915.

Sweden Valley remains defined by the persistent, rhythmic clarity of Mill Creek as it cuts a path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 38.9 miles northeast of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 54°T), and is situated 3.8 miles east-southeast of Coudersport. The land surrounding Sweden Valley rises into steep, timbered slopes that hold the morning mist until well past the hour of breakfast, creating a cool, damp stillness that settles deep into the soil. Only a mile away, the quiet depression of Bates Hollow offers a stark, shadowed contrast to the elevated ridges, while the broader, distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains frames the horizon in a hazy, blue-gray permanence. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and pine, a heavy, grounded perfume that seems to slow the progression of the afternoon sun as it glides over the canopy of the nearby Susquehannock State Forest.

Economic life in Sweden Valley has long been tethered to the timber and industry of the high plateaus, a legacy that lingers in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of those who walk its roads. Residents often find their way toward the Schoolhouse Trail to traverse the rugged, wooded expanse, or they seek the quiet solitude of the Susquehannock State Forest, which serves as a vital anchor for the surrounding wilderness. While the deep, clear waters of Lyman Run Reservoir sit nine miles to the north, the local pulse is dictated more by the seasonal shift of the woods than by the demands of distant markets. There is a particular, enduring gravity to the way the light catches the birch bark at dusk, casting long, thin shadows that seem to mark the passage of time without the need for a clock.

About This Sweden Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sweden Valley, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.756455, -77.950279. 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 Sweden Valley includes the ZIP code (16915), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Potter County (Coudersport), and school district assignment (Coudersport Area 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.
