How to Use This Fairbank, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Fairbank, Pennsylvania

Fairbank is a locality in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Fairbank is located at 39.9434°N, 79.8495°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15435.

Fairbank occupies a modest, undulating stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land folds into quiet, earth-toned depressions. It lies 15.4 miles south of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 188°T), and is situated 7.7 miles west-northwest of Uniontown. Dunlap Creek carves a persistent path through the local topography, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-slung gravity toward the broader drainage patterns of the region. A few miles to the east, the landscape softens into the basin of Keister Hollow, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains occasionally pierces the horizon when the air clears after a storm. The atmosphere here carries the scent of damp loam and cooling minerals, particularly as light wanes and shadows lengthen across the open expanse of the Filbert Ballfield.

Fairbank retains the quiet, weathered character of a place built upon the extraction of the deep earth, where the ghosts of coal-tapped industry remain etched into the social geometry of the streets. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely receded, the rhythm of daily life maintains a steady, utilitarian pulse, far removed from the frantic pace of the urban centers to the north. Residents often look toward the nearby timbered reaches of Forbes State Forest for respite, or find a brief, reflective solitude beside the still, dark waters of Patsys Lake. In the quiet transition between shifts or seasons, there is a tangible sense that Fairbank persists through a kind of rugged, internal endurance, defined less by its changing fortunes and more by the enduring stability of the ground beneath its feet.

About This Fairbank Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairbank, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 39.943409, -79.849492. 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 Fairbank includes the ZIP code (15435), 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.
