How to Use This Allegheny Township, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Allegheny Township reveals itself through a landscape of quiet, undulating terrain that defines the character of the western Pennsylvania plateau. It lies 7.3 miles east-northeast of Lower Burrell, PA (from Lower Burrell, PA: bearing 68°T), and is situated 9.0 miles northeast of Plum. The land here is defined by the steady, modest flow of Pine Run, which meanders through the low-lying sections of the topography. Beyond these localized waters, the expanse of Owen Reservoir provides a stillness to the environment, reflecting the changing light of the seasons across its surface. Distant outlines of the Allegheny Mountains appear as a softened blue serration against the horizon, marking the outer boundary of this familiar terrain. Sugar Hollow offers a deeper, sheltered fold in the earth where the shadows linger longer during the cool, crisp mornings of autumn.

Allegheny Township holds a past rooted in the industrious spirit of the region, where the extraction of resources and the development of local infrastructure once dictated the pace of growth. The economy has transitioned from its early reliance on the heavy industrial output that defined the broader Pittsburgh corridor into a diverse landscape of modern commerce and residential expansion. Residents maintain a connection to this heritage through the careful stewardship of the land, balancing the requirements of contemporary industry with the preservation of open space. The quiet rhythm of daily work is punctuated by the movement of goods across the transit routes that have long facilitated the township's development. This legacy of labor remains visible in the sturdy, functional architecture that persists alongside newer suburban construction.

Cultural life in Allegheny Township finds its focus in the shared spaces where neighbors gather to mark the passage of the year. Northmoreland Park serves as a vital center for outdoor recreation, providing a expanse of green where the community engages with the natural environment through walking trails and seasonal activities. The pace of life here favors an understated consistency, where the social fabric is reinforced by long-standing traditions and the local school calendar. While the township does not serve as a primary residence for globally famous figures, its identity is shaped by the collective efforts of the families who have built their lives within these borders. Public life is marked by a steady, pragmatic grace, reflecting a region that values its own quiet stability above the clamor of wider recognition.

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.
