How to Use This Venango, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Venango reveals itself through the steady, insistent pulse of the French Creek, which carves a deliberate path through the landscape, defining the very rhythm of the earth. It lies 9.3 miles north-northeast of Meadville, PA (from Meadville, PA: bearing 12°T), and is situated 7.1 miles south of Edinboro. The ground here holds a quiet, heavy permanence, characterized by the dense, persistent woodland that blankets the terrain and the subtle, moss-dampened shadows cast within the Venango Riffle Natural Area. Light in Venango tends to linger, caught in the low-slung canopy of the trees and reflected in the dark, cool surface of the water, where the air tastes of wet slate and turned soil. Six miles removed, the quiet depression of Shelhammer Hollow offers a starker geography, a place where the wind seems to settle and hold its breath, contrasting with the more fluid, shifting presence of the nearby Woodcock Creek Lake.

History in Venango remains etched into the bedrock of its local economy, which has long drawn its sustenance from the extraction and careful management of the land’s natural reserves. The spirit of the place is not found in the bustle of distant industrial centers, but in the deliberate, measured labor of those who work the timber and the soil, maintaining a connection to a past built on resourcefulness and grit. Life in Venango proceeds with a grounded, unadorned clarity, where the seasonal changes dictate the pace of the day and the character of the community. While the distant Appalachian Mountains are too far to offer anything more than a hazy, charcoal-colored suggestion on the horizon, the immediate environment provides a complete and sufficient world, defined by the enduring intersection of the waterway and the woods.

About This Venango Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Venango, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.77272, -80.112074. 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 Venango includes the ZIP code (16323, 16440), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Crawford County (Meadville), and school district assignment (Penncrest 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.
