How to Use This Creighton, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Creighton, Pennsylvania

Creighton is a locality in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,200. The population density is 480.0 people per km². Creighton is located at 40.5873°N, 79.7784°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15030.

Creighton occupies a rugged threshold where the earth yields to the patient, persistent carving of the Bailey Run. It lies 1.4 miles north-northwest of New Kensington, PA (from New Kensington, PA: bearing 329°T), and is situated 6.8 miles north-northeast of Penn Hills. The landscape here rises in deliberate, muscular swells, defined by a topography that feels ancient and unyielding, far removed from the softening influence of any distant shore. Toward the horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a vast, silent boundary, while the immediate ground is softened by the verdant, tangled growth of Crawford Run. The air carries a distinct heaviness, a humid weight that clings to the skin during the long, amber-hued afternoons of late summer, grounding the senses in the reality of the soil and the thick, stubborn greenery of the plateau.

Creighton finds its character rooted in the heavy machinery of industry, a legacy of smoke and steel that once defined the rhythm of every household and shift change. While the furnace fires have dimmed, the remnants of that era persist in the brickwork of aging structures and the deliberate, slow-motion pace of life that persists in the shadow of Desperation Hollow. The local economy, once tethered to the relentless output of glass and metal, now navigates a quieter transition, looking toward the distant, shimmering surface of Beaver Run Reservoir as a mark of the geography’s deeper, wilder persistence. Life here moves with the cyclical nature of the seasons, a quiet observation of the way the light catches the rusted iron of old sidings, marking time not in hours, but in the slow, inevitable reclamation of the land by the creeping moss and the insistent creek beds.

About This Creighton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Creighton, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.587289, -79.778382. 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 Creighton includes the ZIP code (15030), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), 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.
