How to Use This Dickerson Run, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Dickerson Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the landscape, its waters cutting through the earth to define the local topography with a steady, unyielding current. It lies 11.1 miles southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 138°T), and is situated 4.5 miles west-northwest of Connellsville. The land here rises in modest, weathered elevations that suggest the distant, hazy presence of the Allegheny Mountains far to the east, while the immediate ground is broken by the deep, shadowed depression of Sandy Hollow. To the west, the terrain maintains a rugged, inland character, far removed from the coast and defined instead by the dense, temperate flora that stretches toward the distant reaches of Forbes State Forest. At the center of the local geography, Dawson Park offers a quiet expanse of green, providing a respite where the quality of light at dusk softens the sharp edges of the hillside and turns the gravel paths a deep, bruised violet.

Industry once defined the pulse of Dickerson Run, with the rhythm of the rail and the weight of coal-era commerce dictating the daily movements of those who lived along the tracks. Though the heavy machinery has long since grown silent, the physical remnants of that era remain, etched into the brickwork of older buildings and the steep, terraced layout of the residential streets. Life here now proceeds with a deliberate, quiet patience, far from the frantic pace of larger urban centers, as residents navigate the intersection of a fading industrial past and a modern, rural existence. On warm afternoons, the air carries a faint, cooling scent of damp earth and moss, a reminder that even as the economy shifts, the land itself remains the primary influence on the character of the people who call Dickerson Run their home.

About This Dickerson Run Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dickerson Run, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.04563, -79.666429. 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 Dickerson Run includes the ZIP code (15486, 15430), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Fayette County (Uniontown), 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.
