How to Use This Cross Creek, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Cross Creek, Pennsylvania

Cross Creek is a locality in Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 121. The population density is 128.7 people per km². Cross Creek is located at 40.3290°N, 80.4092°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 15021, 15004.

Cross Creek emerges from the steady, rhythmic intersection of sloping terrain and the persistent flow of the Middle Fork Cross Creek, which cuts a clear path through the local landscape. It lies 13.0 miles west of South Fayette, PA (from South Fayette, PA: bearing 261°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east of Follansbee. The surrounding topography is defined by deep, verdant hollows and high-shouldered ridges that capture the shifting light of the afternoon, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the fields. Two miles away, the surface of Zinc Dam Reservoir holds the sky in a quiet, glass-like stillness, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains anchor the horizon far to the east. The air here holds a distinct, heavy dampness during the transition into evening, a quality that softens the sharp edges of the timber and makes the rustling of the deciduous canopy feel deliberate and deep.

Economic life in Cross Creek has long been tethered to the slow extraction of earth and the quiet persistence of agriculture, echoing the industrial grit that defined the broader region for generations. Residents often find their way toward the Langeloth Ballfield for recreation, where the flat, manicured expanse offers a stark contrast to the rugged, uneven folds of the nearby Cherry Valley. History is not written in grand monuments here but in the weathered brick of older foundations and the narrow, winding roads that follow the natural contours of the stream beds. The pace of daily life retains a deliberate gravity, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and a stubborn, quiet pride in the land that has sustained the families of Cross Creek for decades.

About This Cross Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cross Creek, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.328958, -80.409232. 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 Cross Creek includes the ZIP code (15021, 15004), 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 (Avella 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.
