Explore Economy, 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 Economy, 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 Economy.
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.

Economy holds a quiet position upon the high ground of the Allegheny Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the persistent carving of the land into deep, forested ravines. It lies 5.6 miles north of Carnot-Moon, PA (from Carnot-Moon, PA: bearing 356°T), and is situated 7.3 miles west of Franklin Park. The terrain surrounding Economy features the steady, southward flow of the Ohio River, which carves a path through the earth just one mile away. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into the rugged character of the region, occasionally dropping into the quiet, shaded depths of Coony Hollow, located three miles from the center. Residents looking toward the far horizon might catch the faint, blue-tinted suggestion of the Allegheny Mountains, a range that stands ninety-one miles away as a distant sentinel. For those seeking a moment of stillness, Sechlers Lake rests six miles out, offering a reflective surface that mirrors the shifting gray and gold of the afternoon sky.
Economy maintains a legacy rooted in the industrious spirit of early communal settlements, where the labor of the hand once dictated the rhythm of daily survival. This heritage has evolved into a modern local economy that balances remaining industrial interests with a steady, suburban pace that favors practical commerce over rapid expansion. The physical landscape of the region, characterized by its challenging topography, has long influenced how infrastructure and industry occupy the available flatlands and slopes. Over the decades, the work of the people has shifted from the agrarian foundations of the past toward the professional and service sectors that now define the local livelihood. Despite these changes, the fundamental character of the region remains tied to the grit and persistence of those who first cleared the timber and worked the soil.
Economy fosters a cultural character that values a reserved, modest way of life, where the passing of the seasons is measured by the changing foliage of the deciduous woods. Ambridge Borough Park serves as a central point for communal gatherings, providing a green space that anchors the neighborhood and offers a place for residents to walk under the heavy, humid air of midsummer. While the region is not a hub for global celebrity, it remains connected to the broader Pennsylvania experience through the enduring influence of its regional identity. Local life is defined by the quiet rituals of the morning commute and the evening descent of shadows across the residential streets. There is a specific, grounded beauty in the way the sunlight strikes the brick facades at dusk, illuminating a place that remains firmly committed to its own internal pace.

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.
