Explore Widnoon, 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 Widnoon, 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 Widnoon.
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.

Widnoon occupies a quiet stretch of the Allegheny Plateau, defined by the persistent, rhythmic erosion of the earth that leaves the ground in a state of constant, slow-motion transition. It lies 23.4 miles east-northeast of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 18.0 miles south-southwest of Clarion. The air here holds a distinct, earthy weight, particularly during the humid transitions of early autumn when the heavy canopy of State Game Land 287 seems to exhale a cool, damp breath over the surrounding acreage. To the west, the winding path of Redbank Creek carves a narrow, serpentine route through the soil, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains serves as a permanent, muted boundary against the horizon. The landscape is not a place of sudden drama, but one of deep, shadowed hollows and stubborn, high-reaching ridges where the light at dusk settles into a bruised, violet stillness, illuminating the persistent growth of the thick, tangled woodlands that dominate the horizon.
Widnoon preserves the quiet, industrious legacy of an inland region shaped by the steady extraction of resources and the slow, deliberate pace of rural labor. While the local economy has transitioned away from the more strenuous endeavors of the past, the influence of the land remains evident in the way the architecture clings to the uneven terrain, reflecting a history of endurance and adaptation. Residents often find their way toward the quiet, reflective surface of Pond One, a place that serves as a necessary anchor for those who live among the scattered, wooded tracts. The cultural character of Widnoon is defined by this proximity to the wild, where the presence of the state-managed lands ensures that the rhythm of the day is dictated less by the clock and more by the seasonal shift of the forest and the quiet, steady movement of the water.

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.
