Explore West Point, 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 West Point, 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 West Point.
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.

West Point emerges from the confluence of industrial memory and the quiet persistence of the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 5.7 miles northeast of Johnstown, PA (from Johnstown, PA: bearing 47°T), and is situated 7.4 miles northeast of Westmont. The Little Conemaugh River carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its current reflecting the heavy, slate-colored skies that frequently gather over the Allegheny Mountains on the distant horizon. Saltlick Reservoir lies perfectly still, acting as a glass pane that captures the shifting amber hues of autumn leaves and the stark, skeletal reach of winter branches. Between the shadow of the slopes and the water’s edge, the Mineral Point Village Playground provides a modest clearing where the earth feels firm and reclaimed, offering a space where the air tastes faintly of damp stone and incoming weather.
West Point maintains a measured pace, defined by the lingering echoes of regional labor and the steady, quiet maintenance of its infrastructure. While the surrounding State Forest Lands stand as a dark, impenetrable velvet against the sky, the local economy remains tethered to the pragmatic rhythms of a land shaped by the transit of goods and the endurance of its inhabitants. Travel toward the Conemaugh Gorge or along the Roger Mountain Trail offers a perspective on how the physical geography constrains and directs the growth of the locale, forcing a focus on the immediate surroundings. Even the distant, cascading rush of Winding Staircase Falls seems to remind those who live in West Point that the landscape is not merely a backdrop, but an active, eroding force that dictates the boundaries of their daily lives.

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.
