Explore Dormont Borough, 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 Dormont Borough, 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 Dormont Borough.
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.

Dormont Borough defines itself through a landscape of persistent, sloping streets that navigate the uneven terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 2.9 miles north-northeast of Mount Lebanon, PA (from Mount Lebanon, PA: bearing 17°T), and is situated 3.7 miles south-southwest of Pittsburgh. Residents often look toward the distant horizon where the Allegheny Mountains hold the fading light of evening in a soft, hazy blue. Within the immediate boundaries, Beggsnyder Park provides a local green space where the neighborhood gathers under the canopy of mature trees. The water of Scrubgrass Run flows quietly through the surrounding topography, carving a subtle path through the earth two miles away. Beyond these local features, the landscape remains defined by its inland position, far removed from the influence of any maritime breeze.
Dormont Borough traces its development to the early twentieth century when streetcar lines transformed the area into a bustling residential hub. The local economy grew in tandem with the surrounding region’s industrial strength, benefiting from the proximity to regional steel production and commercial expansion. While the heavy mills are no longer the primary engine of daily life, the borough retains the sturdy, brick-fronted architecture that characterizes this part of the state. Small businesses and professional services currently populate the main thoroughfares, maintaining an economy that values stability and local patronage. The rhythm of daily life here follows the steady, predictable pulse of a place that long ago reconciled its industrial roots with its modern suburban identity.
Cultural life in Dormont Borough thrives on a sense of civic continuity and the shared appreciation for its historic, walkable design. The iconic Dormont Pool remains a focal point for summer activity, serving as a social center that has welcomed generations of residents. Notable landmarks such as the Duquesne Incline, accessible just two miles away, offer a direct connection to the broader regional history of transit and engineering. Famous individuals like the actor Joe Manganiello have roots in the area, contributing to a modest but distinct local pride. Community events and seasonal festivals frequently bring neighbors together, reinforcing the social bonds that give the borough its enduring character.

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.
