How to Use This Avalon, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Avalon rises from the steep, terraced topography of the Allegheny Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the persistent, southward descent of the Spruce Run. It lies 5.6 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, PA (from Pittsburgh, PA: bearing 318°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south-southwest of McCandless. The air here holds a crisp, terrestrial weight, unburdened by the dampness of distant coastlines, and the light at dusk often catches the angular geometry of rooftops clinging to the incline. Avalon Park remains the primary anchor of the local geography, offering a quiet, green reprieve where the earth slopes toward the deeper basins of the region. On the horizon, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains suggest a vast, folded wilderness that stands in contrast to the immediate, intimate scale of the local hollows and ridges.

Avalon carries the quiet, enduring character of a place that matured alongside the industrious expansion of the surrounding region. The local economy has shifted over generations, moving from the heavy, rhythmic labor of early industrial ventures toward a more settled, residential pace of life that respects the elevation and the terrain. Residents often find themselves navigating the steep grade of the streets toward the amenities of the broader corridor, sometimes venturing toward the Duquesne Incline to view the layered, complex geography of the river valleys from a distance. While Fern Hollow and the quiet shores of Lake Ottilie wait only a few miles away, the daily existence in Avalon centers on the subtle, vertical connections of the neighborhood, where brick foundations and narrow pathways trace the history of a community built into the very bones of the plateau.
