Explore Vicksburg, 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 Vicksburg, 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 Vicksburg.
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.

Vicksburg emerges from the quiet intersection of low-lying fields and the persistent, rhythmic flow of Halter Creek. It lies 10.5 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 186°T), and is situated 4.3 miles south-southwest of Hollidaysburg. The landscape surrounding Vicksburg maintains a steady, deliberate composure, shaped by the influence of the Allegheny Mountains, which loom as a distant, jagged silhouette against the western sky. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. Just a mile away, the expanse of State Game Land 147 offers a sanctuary of dense, unmanaged woodland, while the broader geography feels defined by the silent reach of Maple Hollow, an ancient basin that funnels the cooling evening air across the valley floor.
Vicksburg carries the weight of a long-settled interior, where the patterns of industry and agriculture have been etched into the soil by generations of families who recognized the value of the fertile, damp earth. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, favoring the stability of small-scale production and the stewardship of the surrounding ridges over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Life in Vicksburg moves with the gravity of the seasons, marked by the turning of the leaves in the nearby forests and the occasional traveler moving toward the Hollidaysburg Reservoir. There is a particular sharpness to the light here as it catches the limestone and timber of the older structures, signaling a place that remains anchored to its own history, unbothered by the clamor of the modern world.

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.
