How to Use This Buffington, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Buffington emerges from the landscape as a collection of quiet, sturdy structures anchored by the steady, persistent presence of Dunlap Creek. It lies 16.4 miles south of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 186°T), and is situated 6.9 miles west-northwest of Uniontown. The earth here holds a heavy, dark quality, folding into muted ridges that feel ancient and indifferent to the passage of seasons. To the east, the hazy, blue-tinted rise of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a world beyond the immediate, while the local horizon remains defined by the dense, shadowed canopy of Forbes State Forest. When evening light settles, it catches the silt of the creek bed, turning the water into a ribbon of polished pewter that snakes through the hollows. Patsys Lake sits only two miles removed, a quiet expanse of still water that reflects the shifting moods of the sky with a mirror-like clarity, grounding the otherwise restless atmosphere of the plateau.

Buffington carries the weight of a past built upon the extraction of the earth, where the ghosts of coal-tapped seams still linger in the weathered brick and the deep, resonant silence of the empty lots. The local economy, once tethered to the rhythm of the mine, now pulses with a slower, more deliberate beat, echoing the habits of a populace that values the persistence of tradition over the frantic pace of the modern centers. Life often gravitates toward the Newboro Ballfield, where the grass is kept trim and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of dry soil and cut stems. While Keister Hollow remains a testament to the rugged, uneven nature of the terrain, the residents maintain a connection to the land that is neither sentimental nor aggressive, but simply a recognition of the hard, honest work that defined Buffington for generations.
