How to Use This Woodward, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Woodward, Pennsylvania

Woodward is a locality in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 106. The population density is 69.4 people per km². Woodward is located at 40.8987°N, 77.3561°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16882.

Woodward reveals itself through the steady, cold pulse of Pine Creek as it carves a path through the valley floor. It lies 27.3 miles east-northeast of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 74°T), and is situated 17.1 miles south-southeast of Lock Haven. Limestone outcrops break the surface of the earth like the knuckles of a giant, while the light at dusk settles into the deep, bruised purples of the surrounding landscape. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain rises toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, their silhouettes blurred by the heavy, humid breath of the afternoon. A mile from the center, the rugged incline of Martin Hollow Trail offers a passage into the denser woods, where the air grows sharp with the scent of damp moss and decaying leaves, and the quiet is broken only by the sudden, percussive flight of a grouse.

Woodward maintains a quiet resilience that echoes the agricultural labor of the nineteenth century, when the limestone soils first dictated the rhythm of the harvest. Today, the economy leans into the stillness of the land, defined by the presence of Woodward Sports Camp, which brings a transient, youthful energy to the fields each summer. The proximity to Sand Hollow creates a natural corridor for the movement of deer and the slow, deliberate growth of timber, grounding the local character in a cycle of seasonal change rather than industrial haste. Life in Woodward remains tethered to the slow migration of the sun across the ridges, a place where the history of the soil is written in the fence lines and the enduring, unhurried work of those who remain.

About This Woodward Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woodward, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.898682, -77.356095. 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 Woodward includes the ZIP code (16882), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Centre County (Bellefonte), and school district assignment (Penns Valley Area 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.
