Explore Freeport, 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 Freeport, 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 Freeport.
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.

Freeport occupies a singular position where the steady, dark currents of the Allegheny River carve a quiet passage through the terrain. It lies 8.3 miles north-northeast of New Kensington, PA (from New Kensington, PA: bearing 30°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north-northeast of Lower Burrell. The landscape surrounding Freeport is defined by the deep, verdant incision of Dock Hollow and the wider, ancient push of the river valley, which keeps the air cool and heavy with the scent of damp earth and limestone. Sunlight here catches the water in long, shimmering ribbons during the late afternoon, illuminating the verdant edges of Riverside Park, where the land meets the water in a muted, grassy transition. Beyond the immediate banks, the horizon remains dominated by the rugged, undulating lines of the plateau, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains serve as a reminder of the vast, folded geology that stretches toward the horizon. Though the Beltzville Dam Reservoir lies several miles away, the immediate vitality of the region remains tethered to the persistent movement of the river, which dictates the pace of the light and the slow, deliberate rhythm of the day.
Industrial foundations remain visible in the weathered brick and sturdy architecture that define the core of Freeport, reflecting a heritage built on the labor of those who navigated these waterways and worked the land. The economy, once tethered to the heavy transit of goods along the river, now reflects a quieter transition, where the echoes of manufacturing linger in the structural integrity of the bridges and the narrow, purposeful streets. Daily life moves with a focused, unpretentious quality, as residents navigate the intersection of a demanding past and a modest, modern stability. The persistence of the local character is felt in the way the morning mist clings to the riverbanks, softening the hard edges of the industrial remnants and lending a contemplative stillness to the space between the hills. Even as the seasons turn, Freeport retains a grounded, singular identity, defined by the geography that shaped its original purpose and continues to frame the quiet industry of its people.

Detailed location data for Freeport includes the ZIP code (16428, 16229), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Armstrong County (Kittanning), and school district assignment (Freeport 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.
