How to Use This Vowinckel, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Vowinckel, Pennsylvania

Vowinckel is a locality in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 130. The population density is 20.4 people per km². Vowinckel is located at 41.4115°N, 79.2287°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16260.

Vowinckel occupies a quiet intersection of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells of heavy soil and dense woodland. It lies 34.6 miles west of Saint Marys, PA (from Saint Marys, PA: bearing 268°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southwest of Marienville. Sunlight filters through the canopy of the Clear Creek State Forest Maple Creek Tract, casting long, bruised shadows across the damp leaf litter that blankets the forest floor. Near the center of these woods, the thin, persistent voice of Toms Run cuts through the undergrowth, its waters moving over slick, dark stones with a cold, metallic clarity. The air here carries the scent of pine resin and damp earth, a stark, grounding aroma that lingers long after the sun dips behind the dense perimeter of trees.

Vowinckel draws its character from the legacy of the timber industry and the iron-willed persistence of those who navigated this rugged interior. The Knox & Kane Railroad Corridor serves as a skeletal reminder of a time when the pulse of the local economy beat in rhythm with the transport of heavy raw materials, carving a path through the landscape that nature is slowly reclaiming. While the heavy machinery of the past has quieted, the remnants of that era persist in the layout of the land, where the iron tracks once dictated the movement of goods and people. Life here maintains a steady, deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic energy of the distant cities, finding its own cadence in the seasonal changes that sweep across the plateau and the quiet, enduring presence of the surrounding timberlands.

About This Vowinckel Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Vowinckel, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.411452, -79.228653. 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 Vowinckel includes the ZIP code (16260), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Clarion County (Clarion), and school district assignment (North Clarion County 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.
