How to Use This Cheltenham, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Cheltenham, Pennsylvania

Cheltenham is a locality in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,993. Cheltenham is located at 40.0609°N, 75.0941°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 19012.

Cheltenham emerges from the landscape as a collection of quiet, shaded streets where the architecture leans into the regional preference for stone and brick. It lies 4.3 miles south-southeast of Abington, PA (from Abington, PA: bearing 163°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north-northeast of Philadelphia. Tacony Creek carves a winding path through the terrain, its banks offering a muted contrast to the surrounding residential blocks and the modest green spaces like Desert Storm Park. The air here holds a stillness that settles over the pavement at dusk, colored by the long shadows of mature trees that stand as silent witnesses to the changing seasons. Far to the west, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a vague, hazy boundary to the horizon, grounding the local topography within a broader, inland geography.

History in Cheltenham is measured in the steady persistence of its infrastructure and the enduring legacy of its early settlers who recognized the utility of the land’s natural drainage. The local economy shifted long ago from agrarian roots to a diverse suburban character, drawing its strength from the steady rhythm of commuters and the presence of academic institutions that anchor the social life of the residents. While the bustle of larger urban centers remains a constant hum in the background, life here retains a deliberate pace, punctuated by the seasonal maintenance of homes and the quiet activity of public spaces. It is a place where the weight of the past is not a burden but a scaffolding, supporting a contemporary existence that favors the stability of stone walls and the predictability of the afternoon light.

About This Cheltenham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cheltenham, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.060944, -75.094063. 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 Cheltenham includes the ZIP code (19012), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Montgomery County (Norristown), 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.
