How to Use This Collingdale, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Collingdale serves as a quiet expanse of residential streets and brick foundations spread across the interior landscape of Pennsylvania. It lies 1.1 miles west-southwest of Darby, PA (from Darby, PA: bearing 244°T), and is situated 6.6 miles west-southwest of Philadelphia. The ground here holds a steady, firm quality, far removed from the shifting edges of the Atlantic, where the air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and cooling pavement. Hermesprota Creek traces a thin, persistent line through the local geography, moving with a quiet purpose that defines the low-lying sections of the terrain. Residents often find their way to Community Center Park, a space that anchors the neighborhood and provides a necessary clearing beneath the wide, shifting sky. In the distance, the Appalachian Mountains remain a faint, jagged suggestion upon the horizon, marking the outer limits of a world that feels both grounded and vast.

Collingdale carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, rooted in the steady growth of local manufacturing and the transit lines that once fueled the regional economy. The landscape reflects a history of labor, where brick facades and structured street grids speak to a time when the rhythm of the day was dictated by the turning of gears and the whistle of the workday. While the heavy industry of the past has softened into a more varied economy, the physical remnants of those workshops still define the character of the streetscapes. Time here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, reflecting a resilience that has outlasted the original factories that once provided the town's primary pulse. The transition from a bustling center of production to a quiet residential hub has left a distinct imprint on the local architecture and the way neighbors interact with the space around them.

The cultural character of Collingdale is defined by a sense of neighborly familiarity and the shared use of public spaces that keep the spirit of the area alive. Community Center Park acts as the primary social stage, hosting gatherings that bring a sense of cohesion to the daily routine of those living in the surrounding blocks. The proximity to the Falls of Schuylkill, located eight miles away, offers a reminder of the water-driven energy that once helped shape the surrounding region. Among the figures associated with the broader cultural reach of the area, the actor Kevin Bacon stands out as a notable individual who spent time in this part of the state, his presence serving as a point of local recognition. Life in Collingdale remains defined by these small, persistent connections, where the changing light at dusk reflects off the brickwork and settles into the quiet corners of the neighborhood.

About This Collingdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Collingdale, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.911779, -75.277129. 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 Collingdale includes the ZIP code (19023), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Delaware County (Media), and school district assignment (Southeast Delco 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.
