Explore Aspinwall, 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 Aspinwall, 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 Aspinwall.
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.

Aspinwall maintains a deliberate composure along the verdant banks of the Allegheny River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate gravity toward the confluence of the larger region. It lies 3.4 miles northeast of Shadyside, PA (from Shadyside, PA: bearing 34°T), and is situated 5.9 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The landscape is defined by the steep, wooded rises of the Allegheny Plateau, creating a terrain that feels compressed and intimate, yet expansive in its sudden, vertical leaps. At the edge of the water, Aspinwall Riverfront Park offers a quiet threshold where the persistent hum of modern transit fades into the rhythmic lapping of the river against the shore. The light here during the late afternoon possesses a distinct, bruised quality, filtering through the dense canopy to illuminate the limestone strata that occasionally break through the earth’s thin skin. Only a mile away, the surface of Carnegie Lake remains a polished dark mirror, reflecting the heavy clouds that frequently drift in from the west, undisturbed by the industrial memory that clings to the valley floor.
History in Aspinwall is written in the sturdy brickwork of its homes and the deliberate grid of streets that climb away from the river’s edge, signaling a past rooted in the industrious ambition of the nineteenth century. While the soot-stained intensity of the old steel economy has long since receded, the town retains a residual toughness, a functional elegance that favors utility over ornament. Residents move with the steady, practiced pace of those who understand the geography of the Allegheny Mountains, which loom as a distant, hazy promise on the horizon, far enough to remain a backdrop rather than a boundary. Economic life has shifted toward the professional and the local, yet the physical presence of the river remains the primary artery, anchoring the daily experience of the inhabitants. Those seeking a more strenuous connection to the landscape might travel several miles to reach the Monogahela Incline, though most find sufficient depth in the proximity of Panther Hollow, where the land sinks into a cool, shadowed basin that serves as a quiet reminder of the area’s rugged, unyielding geology.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Aspinwall, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.491458, -79.904773. 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 Aspinwall includes the ZIP code (15215), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), and school district assignment (Fox Chapel 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.
