How to Use This Yarnell, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Yarnell, Pennsylvania

Yarnell is a locality in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 83. The population density is 478.3 people per km². Yarnell is located at 40.9978°N, 77.8108°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16823.

Yarnell occupies a quiet corridor of land where the earth rises in slow, deliberate folds, defined by the persistent flow of Little Marsh Creek as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 14.4 miles north of State College, PA (from State College, PA: bearing 10°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north-northwest of Bellefonte. The landscape here is characterized by a deep, verdant stillness, with the dense green of State Game Land 092 pressing against the outskirts of the settlement, offering a buffer of wild, unmanaged timber. In the distance, the silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains frame the horizon, their jagged lines softening under the shifting weight of the afternoon clouds. The air often carries a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the proximity of the surrounding woodland and the damp, cool breath that rises from the creek beds when the sun begins to retreat behind the ridge.

Yarnell maintains a character shaped by the slow, steady endurance of the interior plateau, far removed from the frantic pace of the urban centers to the east. Residents look toward the nearby expanse of Foster Joseph Sayers Lake or the quiet depths of Holt Hollow to mark the seasons, finding a rhythm in the changing light that filters through the canopy of the Howard State Nursery. While the local economy remains tethered to the land and the modest commerce of a rural crossroads, the influence of the region's broader industrial history lingers in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the older dwellings. Life here proceeds with a functional grace, where the silence of the woods and the persistent, low-frequency murmur of the water provide the primary backdrop for the daily work of the people.

About This Yarnell Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Yarnell, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.997837, -77.810837. 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 Yarnell includes the ZIP code (16823), 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 (Bald Eagle 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.
