How to Use This East Vandergrift, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for East Vandergrift, 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 East Vandergrift.
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.

It lies 10.8 miles east-northeast of Lower Burrell, PA (from Lower Burrell, PA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 3.5 miles east of Allegheny Township. The terrain slopes downward into the quiet depression of Sugar Hollow, a mile away, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a rugged boundary to the east. Residents find a quiet stillness at Veterans Memorial Park, where the local light catches the changing leaves and softens the edges of the brick facades. To the north, the surface of Owen Reservoir mirrors the shifting gray of a Pennsylvania sky, anchoring the immediate geography in a stillness that persists through the changing seasons.
East Vandergrift carries the weight of a regional industrial heritage, defined by the mills and foundries that once hummed with the rhythm of steel production. The economy shifted as the chimneys dimmed, yet the grid of streets remains tightly knit, reflecting a history of migration and labor that brought diverse communities to these hills. Daily life here moves with a deliberate, grounded pace, centered on the modest architecture and the enduring social bonds formed in the shadow of the valley. While the era of heavy manufacturing has receded, the character of the place persists in the maintenance of its homes and the lingering pride of those who have seen the town through its long transition.

About This East Vandergrift Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.598121, -79.561156. 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 East Vandergrift includes the ZIP code (15629), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Westmoreland County (Greensburg), and school district assignment (Kiski 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.
