Explore West Sunbury, 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 Sunbury, 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 Sunbury.
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 Sunbury occupies a quiet rise on the Allegheny Plateau, where the land stretches out in long, measured swells of earth and field. It lies 10.1 miles north of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 0°T), and is situated 9.4 miles north of Homeacre-Lyndora. Big Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the surrounding dirt a mile away, its presence marked by the thick growth of sycamore and willow that clings to its banks. The air here holds the cool, damp weight of the interior, untroubled by the distant, hazy suggestion of the Allegheny Mountains that wait eighty-one miles to the east. At the edge of the residential grid, West Sunbury Athletic Park #2 provides a flat, open space where the wind sweeps unimpeded, carrying the scent of cut grass and the dry, metallic tang of the coming frost.
West Sunbury grew from the persistent efforts of those who saw value in the heavy soil and the steady, inland climate, building an economy tied to the rhythms of local agriculture and the modest trades of the plateau. History remains visible in the plain, functional architecture that defines the streetscape, a collection of homes and workplaces that favor utility over ornament. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape dips toward the nine-mile mark at Kettle Hole or shifts toward the dense, quiet timber of the Clear Creek State Forest Kennerdell Tract. Residents often turn their attention toward the nearby waters of Harbar Acres Lake, a localized point of interest that serves as a quiet anchor for the region. Life in West Sunbury proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned pace, defined by the changing color of the leaves and the slow, deep freeze of the winter months.

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.
