Explore Coraopolis, 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 Coraopolis, 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 Coraopolis.
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.

Coraopolis occupies a distinct position along the banks of the Ohio River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate grace toward the horizon. It lies 2.7 miles east of Carnot-Moon, PA (from Carnot-Moon, PA: bearing 90°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-southwest of McCandless. The surrounding terrain rises in broken, earthen shelves that define the inland character of the Allegheny Plateau, far removed from any rising tide. To the east, the landscape dips into the quiet shadows of Fern Hollow, while the regional horizon is marked by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains. The air in Coraopolis often holds the cool, damp weight of the river, especially at dusk when the light turns a bruised, metallic violet. Residents may find solace in the small, localized green space of the Ridge Avenue Tot Lot, a quiet corner that anchors the neighborhood against the broader, wilder reach of the valley.
Coraopolis traces its development through the industrial pulse that once defined this entire river corridor, shifting from early agrarian roots to the heavy machinery of the manufacturing age. The local economy grew in lockstep with the foundries and mills that utilized the Ohio River for the efficient transport of steel and coal. Though the furnaces have cooled and the rhythm of the work has changed, the legacy of this labor remains etched into the brick facades and narrow, grid-like streets. The infrastructure of the past still frames the present, creating a sturdy, pragmatic environment where the transition from industrial output to modern commerce feels seamless. Coraopolis maintains a steady, industrious pace, prioritizing the function of its architecture and the enduring utility of its land.
Cultural life in Coraopolis reflects a blend of regional traditions, where the heritage of laboring families persists in the local culinary habits and community gatherings. Landmarks such as the historic train station serve as quiet reminders of a time when the rails were the primary veins of the region’s activity. For those seeking a deeper connection to the area’s vertical topography, the Duquesne Incline offers a vantage point that reveals the scale of the surrounding basin. While Coraopolis is not defined by singular, world-famous figures, it remains a place of quiet continuity where the generations have built a life of modest substance. On summer evenings, the sound of the wind moving through the trees near Sechlers Lake carries a sense of stillness that seems entirely independent of the bustle found in larger regional centers.

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.
