Explore Tyrone, 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 Tyrone, 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 Tyrone.
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.

Tyrone defines the landscape where the Little Juniata River carves its path through the rugged terrain of the interior. It lies 13.3 miles northeast of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 38°T), and is situated 19.3 miles west-southwest of Park Forest Village. The town occupies a space where the earth rises into steep, folded ridges that define the horizon in every direction. To the east, the distant Allegheny Mountains stand as a silent, imposing boundary against the sky. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Tyrone Reservoir Number One mirror the shifting clouds above the valley floor. Nearby, the shadows lengthen across the deep depression of Plummer Hollow, where the air grows cool and heavy at the approach of dusk. Residents find a familiar stillness in the local geography, a place defined not by vast expanses but by the intimate connection between the river and the rising slopes.
Tyrone carries the weight of a past built upon the steady labor of rail and paper production. The iron rails that once channeled the commerce of the nation remain a vital artery for the local economy, keeping the pulse of industry beating within the valley. Generations of workers have turned the raw fibers of the earth into the paper that sustains the region, a craft refined through decades of steady application. The brick facades of older buildings stand as sturdy reminders of an era when manufacturing drove the growth of the valley. Today, the economy shifts toward new horizons while maintaining the resilient character of a place that knows how to work. This history of industry leaves a mark on the spirit of the people, who value the endurance of a well-made product over the fleeting nature of modern trends.
Tyrone fosters a culture rooted in the simple rhythms of the Pennsylvania interior, where the Park Avenue Playground provides a communal space for the daily life of the neighborhood. The atmosphere remains quiet, marked by the steady passage of trains and the changing light upon the ridges. Notable figures such as the renowned artist and illustrator James Montgomery Flagg left their mark on the cultural consciousness of the nation, reflecting a talent that found its early roots in the region. Local events bring the residents together, creating a sense of shared purpose that persists regardless of the changing seasons. Landmarks stand as quiet observers of the town’s progress, witnessing the ongoing story of a place that remains grounded in its own identity. Life here proceeds with a deliberate pace, governed by the natural cycles of the land and the enduring traditions of the people who call it home.

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.
