Explore Brentwood, 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 Brentwood, 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 Brentwood.
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.

Brentwood occupies a landscape defined by the modest elevation of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth holds a quiet, settled weight beneath the changing sky. It lies 1.1 miles northeast of Whitehall, PA (from Whitehall, PA: bearing 52°T), and is situated 5.0 miles south-southeast of Pittsburgh. Streets Run flows only a mile from the center, carving a narrow path through the terrain that dictates the local drainage and defines the low-lying edges of the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate canopy, the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests the vast, ancient scale of the region, though they remain a mere suggestion on the horizon. Brentwood Park serves as the primary outdoor sanctuary for the residents, offering a green expanse that anchors the daily rhythm of life. On clear evenings, the quality of light softens against the brick facades, lending a temporary, amber grace to the suburban streets.
Industrial ambition once shaped the expansion of Brentwood, as the nearby steel mills of the surrounding region drew workers who valued the stability of a residential borough. This history of labor remains in the architectural sturdiness of the local housing stock, which reflects an era when the economy was tethered to the heavy manufacturing output of the neighboring valleys. Today, the local economy leans into service and retail, maintaining a steady, functional pace that avoids the erratic swings of larger corporate centers. While the smoke of the past has long since cleared, the industrious nature of the original settlers persists in the well-maintained lawns and the diligent upkeep of private property. Residents continue to balance the legacy of the regional industrial workforce with the more contemporary requirements of a professional, land-locked borough.
Cultural life in Brentwood is defined by a deep-seated commitment to civic continuity and the shared traditions of its inhabitants. Brentwood Park acts as the stage for community gatherings, where the seasonal transitions are marked by local festivities that bring neighbors together under the shade of mature trees. The proximity of the Duquesne Incline, just four miles away, allows inhabitants to easily access the broader historic and cultural narrative of the metropolitan area, yet they return to the distinct, localized character of their own streets. Well-known individuals such as the actor Joe Manganiello have roots in this area, adding a touch of public recognition to the quiet, everyday persistence of the borough. Whether navigating the path toward Panther Hollow or spending a quiet afternoon in the local green space, one senses a community that prizes its own specific identity above all else.

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.
