How to Use This Twin Rocks, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Twin Rocks, Pennsylvania

Twin Rocks is a locality in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 238. The population density is 160.2 people per km². Twin Rocks is located at 40.4967°N, 78.8659°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15931, 15960, 15943.

Twin Rocks occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land rises and falls in long, muscular swells of earth. It lies 12.1 miles north-northeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 14°T), and is situated 7.5 miles west of Ebensburg. Coalpit Run cuts a persistent, dark path through the terrain, its waters moving with a steady, unadorned purpose past the edges of the settlement. To the east, the hazy, blue-tinted silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains define the horizon, standing as a silent perimeter against the wider sky. The air here carries a crisp, mineral quality, especially in the late afternoon when the shadows lengthen across the fields and the light turns the color of pale honey, catching on the weathered wood of the older structures.

Twin Rocks maintains a character forged in the legacy of coal extraction, a history that lingers in the layout of the streets and the sturdy, unpretentious frame of the houses. While the economy has shifted away from the heavy industry of the past, the local rhythm remains tethered to the land, marked by the simple activity at the 2nd Street Playground, where the swing of a gate or the sound of footsteps on gravel punctuates the silence. Residents often look toward the distant, forested ridges or make the short journey to the State Forest Lands for a sense of perspective. Life here proceeds without fanfare, anchored by the slow, deliberate pace of a place that understands its own boundaries and the quiet endurance of the hills that surround it.

About This Twin Rocks Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Twin Rocks, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.496737, -78.865858. 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 Twin Rocks includes the ZIP code (15931, 15960, 15943), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Cambria County (Ebensburg), and school district assignment (Blacklick Valley 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.
