Explore Temple, 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 Temple, 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 Temple.
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.

Temple anchors itself upon the modest, firm earth of the Pennsylvania landscape, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Laurel Run. It lies 5.1 miles north of Reading, PA (from Reading, PA: bearing 3°T), and is situated 5.9 miles north-northeast of Wyomissing. The topography here favors a subtle, deliberate flatness that yields toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a quiet, jagged promise on the far horizon. Within the immediate reach of Temple, the air holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, undisturbed by the moisture of any distant coast, while the Muhlenberg Rail Trail offers a linear passage through the quietude of the local terrain. During the height of the summer heat, the surface of the Muhlenberg Swimming Association Pool reflects a singular, glassy stillness, acting as a cool, blue focal point amidst the surrounding greenery of Temple Playground.
Industry and history have long left their mark on Temple, shaping the character of a place that values the steady endurance of its residents over the clamor of expansion. The nearby expanse of Shalters Grove serves as a reminder of the verdant, sheltered basins that define the regional geography, providing a stark contrast to the utilitarian corridors of commerce that have developed over the decades. Life in Temple moves with the predictable, unforced cadence of a locale that understands its own scale, where the memory of earlier, labor-driven eras lingers in the sturdy architecture and the pragmatic layout of the streets. Here, the transition from the golden light of late afternoon to the cool, gray dusk feels particularly profound, settling over the rooftops and the quiet pathways with an ancient, familiar gravity.

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.
