Explore Apollo, 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 Apollo, 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 Apollo.
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.

Apollo occupies a bend of the Kiskiminetas River, where the water carves a deliberate path through the rising terrain of the plateau. It lies 10.2 miles east of Lower Burrell, PA (from Lower Burrell, PA: bearing 79°T), and is situated 3.3 miles east-southeast of Allegheny Township. The landscape surrounding Apollo is defined by the deep, verdant incision of Sugar Hollow, which gathers the morning fog until the sun warms the limestone and shale banks. Beyond the immediate river valley, the horizon is traced by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, standing as a silent, jagged boundary to the east. Within the town limits, Apollo Park offers a green interruption to the grid of streets, providing a quiet vantage point to watch the slow, heavy movement of the water as it mirrors the shifting grey of the Pennsylvania sky.
Industry once defined the rhythm of life here, as the iron and steel mills that lined the riverbank drew their strength from the same currents that carved the valley floor. Today, the economy has shifted toward a quieter pace, though the remnants of that heavy labor remain in the sturdy brick facades and the enduring pride of the local residents. Nearby, the calm surface of Owen Reservoir holds the reflection of the surrounding hardwoods, offering a stillness that contrasts with the industrial memory of the river’s edge. Life in Apollo moves with the measured cadence of a place that has seen the rise of smokestacks and the return of the forest, maintaining a steady, grounded existence that honors the hard work of its ancestors while watching the seasons change over the Kiskiminetas River.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Apollo, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.581455, -79.566433. 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 Apollo includes the ZIP code (15613), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Armstrong County (Kittanning), and school district assignment (Apollo-Ridge 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.
