Explore Ursina, 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 Ursina, 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 Ursina.
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.

Ursina occupies a quiet intersection of bottomland where the currents of Laurel Hill Creek carve a rhythmic, serpentine path through the earth. It lies 34.9 miles southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 133°T), and is situated 17.4 miles north of Garrett. The air here holds a distinct weight, often cooling prematurely as it settles into the lower elevations that define the local topography. To the west, the landscape deepens into the rugged depression of Paddytown Hollow, while the broader horizon suggests the distant, hazy presence of the Allegheny Mountains. A short distance away, the stillness of Youghiogheny River Lake provides a mirror for the changing sky, offering a stark contrast to the quick, translucent vitality of the creek that keeps the soil productive and the vegetation lush. On the outskirts, the landscape transitions into the dense, shadowed canopy of Forbes State Forest, where the sunlight fractures into sharp, golden needles against the floor of the woods.
Ursina preserves the remnants of a legacy rooted in the industrious spirit of nineteenth-century regional development, when the promise of extraction and timber movement dictated the layout of the streets. While the heavy machinery of the past has long since grown silent, the economy now leans into a quieter, localized endurance, punctuated by the seasonal ebb and flow of visitors seeking the nearby Ohiopyle Falls or traversing the Great Gorge Trail. Residents often find their way toward the modest grounds of Beggs Park, a space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the prevailing silence of the countryside. The pace of life here is dictated not by the clock, but by the subtle shifts in the weather and the persistent, low-frequency murmur of the water passing through the valley, ensuring that Ursina remains a place where the passage of time is measured in the slow accumulation of seasons rather than the frantic motion of modern industry.

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.
