Explore Timblin, 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 Timblin, 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 Timblin.
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.

Timblin occupies a quiet portion of the Allegheny Plateau, where the land rises and falls in long, deliberate swells of earth and woodland. It lies 24.0 miles north of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 354°T), and is situated 12.0 miles west of Punxsutawney. Eagle Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the local topography, its waters moving with a steady, unforced energy that defines the immediate drainage of the valley. To the west, the expansive reach of Mahoning Creek Lake offers a still contrast to the moving current, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains marks the far edge of the horizon. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and deciduous leaf litter, especially in the cooling hours of late afternoon when the shadows lengthen across the fields and the light turns a thin, pale gold. Just a mile away, the wooded acreage of State Game Land 320 provides a vast, quiet buffer of wilderness that dictates the slow pace of the surrounding landscape.
Timblin remains shaped by the stubborn endurance of the Pennsylvania interior, where the economy has long transitioned from the early pulse of timber and small-scale extraction to a more measured, independent existence. The architecture of the locality reflects a utilitarian history, with structures built for utility and warmth against the biting winters that descend upon the plateau. Daily life moves with the rhythm of the seasons, as the residents maintain a connection to the land that is neither ostentatious nor hurried, but simply persistent. Even as the modern world shifts, the character of the place persists in the way the morning mist clings to the low hollows and the manner in which the local roads curve to follow the natural contours of the terrain. Nothing in the daily routine disrupts the pervasive sense of solitude that hangs over the valley, preserving a quiet dignity in the way the land is worked and the day is measured.

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.
