How to Use This Braddock, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Braddock occupies a narrow, industrious shelf of land where the earth seems to hold its breath against the weight of a century’s labor. It lies 1.8 miles east-northeast of Munhall, PA (from Munhall, PA: bearing 65°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east-southeast of Pittsburgh.

The Monongahela River carves a slow, deliberate path past the blackened brick and steel skeletons that once defined the horizon of Braddock, its waters reflecting the heavy, bruised clouds that often drift in from the distant Allegheny Mountains. Within the dense grid of streets, the Center Street Community Playground serves as a quiet anchor, a patch of color and motion where the persistent hum of the heavy machinery—the remaining pulse of a once-thundering economy—fades into the background. The air here carries the faint, metallic tang of iron and coal, a sensory echo of the furnaces that built empires and shaped the lives of generations. On quiet evenings, the light catches the soot-dusted windowpanes, turning the industrial grit into a mosaic of amber and gray that feels both weary and remarkably resilient.

History in Braddock is not a collection of dusty archives but a living presence, written into the very foundation of its hulking mills and the humble, sturdy homes that cling to the hillside. The local economy, having weathered the seismic shifts of the post-industrial era, now finds its character in the slow, deliberate work of reinvention, where the legacy of the steel magnates gives way to a quieter, more intimate form of survival. While the sprawling grandeur of Panther Hollow and the stillness of Panther Hollow Lake lie miles away, the immediate experience of the land remains tethered to the river's edge, a place where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the passage of trains and the changing shadow of the blast furnaces. Even the distant, winding path of the Monogahela Incline feels like a world away from the gritty, honest reality found on the streets of Braddock, where every cracked sidewalk and rusted railing tells a story of endurance.

About This Braddock Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Braddock, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.401736, -79.868622. 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 Braddock includes the ZIP code (15301, 15104), 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 (Woodland Hills 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.
