How to Use This Buffalo Mills, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Buffalo Mills, Pennsylvania

Buffalo Mills is a locality in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, United States. Buffalo Mills is located at 40.8401°N, 79.6434°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 16262, 15534.

Buffalo Mills rests upon the quiet, silt-heavy banks where Buffalo Creek carves a path through the stubborn Pennsylvania bedrock. It lies 13.2 miles east of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 96°T), and is situated 6.6 miles west-northwest of Kittanning. The landscape surrounding Buffalo Mills defines itself through the persistent gravity of the earth, where moisture clings to the low-lying meadows and the air holds the scent of damp shale and cooling limestone. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it presses against the valley floor, flattening the color of the tall grasses until they shimmer like tarnished copper in the late afternoon. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains, standing as silent sentinels over a geography that favors the slow accumulation of soil over the sudden drama of peak and precipice.

History in Buffalo Mills moves at the tempo of the water, tracing its origins to the industrious pulse of milling operations that once harnessed the strength of the local current. While the economy has shifted away from the heavy machinery of the past, the spirit of the region remains tethered to the land, finding its modern respite in the quiet green expanses of Worthington Park. Residents move through their days with a deliberate ease, mindful of the eight miles that separate them from the deepening shadows of Graff Hollow or the ten miles toward the placid, reflective surface of Lake Saxony. Even as the seasons turn, the character of the place persists in the sturdy architecture and the unhurried way the dusk settles over the fields, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle that feels both ancient and entirely present.

About This Buffalo Mills Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buffalo Mills, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.840064, -79.643381. 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 Buffalo Mills includes the ZIP code (16262, 15534), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Armstrong County (Kittanning), and school district assignment.

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.
