How to Use This Coal Center, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Coal Center marks a quiet intersection of land and water where Pike Run carves a steady, narrow path through the earth toward the larger river systems of the region. It lies 8.3 miles southwest of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 217°T), and is situated 5.6 miles south of Monessen. The landscape around Coal Center consists of steep, verdant slopes that rise from the valley floor, creating a topography defined by the deep indentations of Granville Hollow. While the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains remain eighty miles removed, the immediate surroundings are dominated by dense woodlands and the persistent, low-frequency murmur of flowing water. At dusk, the light here thickens, turning the air a bruised lavender and casting long, sharp shadows across the rugged terrain that feels both ancient and stubbornly persistent against the encroachment of modern development.

Rotary Park provides a small, manicured clearing in the landscape, offering a place for reflection near the gentle, persistent movement of the water. Coal Center carries the weight of a history rooted in the extraction of coal, a legacy that once dictated the rhythm of local labor and the architectural character of the neighborhood. Though the industrial pulse has slowed, the economy remains tethered to the geography of the plateau, shifting toward small-scale regional commerce and the quiet endurance of those who stay. Life in Coal Center moves at a deliberate pace, colored by the seasonal cycle of the foliage and the occasional stillness of Pond F, which lies far enough away to remain a quiet destination for those seeking the stillness of the interior.

About This Coal Center Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Coal Center, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.068407, -79.901714. 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 Coal Center includes the ZIP code (15423), 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 (California 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.
