How to Use This Upperstrasburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Upperstrasburg emerges from the pastoral floor of the Dothan Valley as a quiet collection of weathered stone and timber anchored to the Pennsylvania earth. It lies 10.4 miles north-northwest of Chambersburg, PA (from Chambersburg, PA: bearing 326°T), and is situated 13.2 miles west of Shippensburg. The Conodoguinet Creek carves a meditative path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid light of late summer afternoons as they meander toward the horizon. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains rise in deep shades of violet and charcoal, providing a permanent, silent boundary to the horizon. Only a mile away, the dense, untamed growth of State Game Land 076 offers a sanctuary for deer and fox, while the nearby Berger Trail invites a slow pace for those who wish to walk the perimeter of the woods. Cedar Lake sits just two miles from the center, a glassy mirror for the shifting clouds that drift across the expanse of the inland sky.

Upperstrasburg carries the weight of a long agricultural lineage, where the local economy remains tethered to the patient productivity of the surrounding acreage and the steady maintenance of rural life. Old barns, their wood darkened by decades of rain and sun, stand as markers of a time when the labor of the hands dictated the rhythm of the day. The people here move with an unforced deliberation, grounded by the seasonal shifts that dictate the planting and the harvest. There is a particular stillness in the air when the evening cooling begins, a moment when the mechanical hum of the modern world fades against the enduring presence of the creek and the fields. Life in Upperstrasburg is defined not by the clamor of rapid change, but by the persistent, quiet endurance of a place that understands its own boundaries and the simple necessity of the soil.

About This Upperstrasburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Upperstrasburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.062735, -77.769479. 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 Upperstrasburg includes the ZIP code (17265), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Franklin County (Chambersburg), and school district assignment.

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.
