Explore Burgettstown, 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 Burgettstown, 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 Burgettstown.
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.

Burgettstown occupies a geography defined by the persistent, winding course of Burgetts Fork, which carves a narrow path through the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 12.1 miles west of South Fayette, PA (from South Fayette, PA: bearing 278°T), and is situated 9.1 miles west-southwest of Imperial. The landscape is characterized by steep, wooded slopes and deep, shadowed hollows that retain the damp chill of autumn long after the sun has climbed high above the ridge lines. To the east, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains, a reminder of the vast, folded geology that separates this inland plateau from the eastern seaboard. Near the outskirts, the surface of Zinc Dam Reservoir reflects the shifting sky with a metallic, slate-colored sheen, while the surrounding topography remains a patchwork of dense, deciduous thickets and clearings that eventually give way to the deeper, more secluded reaches of Fernwood State Forest.
Burgettstown emerged from the expansion of regional rail and coal extraction, a history that remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of its older residential streets and the quiet, industrial remnants scattered through the landscape. Life in Burgettstown follows the steady, linear progression of the Panhandle Trail, where the former railway bed now serves as a quiet artery for walkers and cyclists moving between the town center and the broader, more open expanses of Cherry Valley. The local economy, once tethered to the extraction of resources from the earth, has transitioned into a quieter pace, leaving behind a culture that values the endurance of its brick-faced storefronts and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining a life in the interior of the continent. Even as the seasons turn the foliage into a brittle, rust-colored canopy, the rhythm of daily life remains anchored to the land, grounded by the steady flow of the creek and the enduring, quiet presence of the surrounding hills.

Detailed location data for Burgettstown includes the ZIP code (15021), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Washington County (Washington), and school district assignment (Burgettstown Area 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.
