How to Use This Avella, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Avella, Pennsylvania

Avella is a locality in Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 782. The population density is 335.1 people per km². Avella is located at 40.2751°N, 80.4606°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15312.

Avella occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, winding path of Cross Creek, which cuts a deep, narrow channel through the dense clay and limestone of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 13.3 miles west-northwest of Washington, PA (from Washington, PA: bearing 302°T), and is situated 8.5 miles east-southeast of Mingo Junction. The terrain surrounding Avella is characterized by steep, uneven inclines and shadowed depressions like Coal Hollow, where the light seems to linger in a bruised, violet hue long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land rises into dense, tangled thickets and deciduous hardwoods that stretch toward the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains. Residents often gather at the Independence Township Community Park, a patch of green that serves as a quiet anchor against the encroaching wildness of the surrounding timberland.

Economic life in Avella has long been tethered to the subterranean wealth of the region, where the memory of coal extraction remains etched into the very topography of the local ground. While the heavy industry that once defined the surrounding valleys has receded, the town maintains a steady, deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger metropolitan hubs. The presence of the Zinc Dam Reservoir six miles away provides a singular, still expanse of water that reflects the changing seasons, a stark contrast to the restless movement of the nearby creek. Life here is measured by the seasonal turn of the hardwood leaves and the occasional sound of trains echoing through the hollows, marking a daily rhythm that feels both grounded and profoundly solitary.
