How to Use This Leechburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Leechburg occupies a sharp bend in the landscape where the Kiskiminetas River presses against the earth, carving a path through the dense, deciduous woods of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 9.2 miles east-northeast of New Kensington, PA (from New Kensington, PA: bearing 65°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-northeast of Lower Burrell. The terrain rises in firm, verdant swells from the riverbank, creating a topography defined by steep grades and the deep, narrow shadow of Sugar Hollow three miles to the east. At the water's edge, Leechburg Riverfront Park serves as a quiet threshold where the light at dusk turns the surface of the river into a heavy, hammered silver, reflecting the silhouettes of the trees that crowd the banks. Though the distant, hazy blue peaks of the Allegheny Mountains appear as nothing more than a jagged ink-stroke on the horizon, the immediate ground feels solid and ancient, shaped by the slow, persistent work of water moving through stone and soil.

History clings to the brick facades and narrow streets of Leechburg, a place where the industrial echoes of steel production and coal mining have settled into a measured, deliberate pace of life. The economy, once tethered to the rhythmic output of mills and the extraction of mineral wealth, now functions with a quieter autonomy, favoring local commerce and the steady, unpretentious labor of its residents. Long after the furnaces cooled, the town retained its character as a sturdy outpost of the regional interior, far removed from the pressures of the coast. On quiet afternoons, the air carries a crisp, inland stillness that feels unchanged by the passing decades, anchoring Leechburg to a heritage of grit and persistence that persists in the architecture of the older storefronts and the deep, quiet resolve of the people who walk its sidewalks.

About This Leechburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Leechburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.630442, -79.602156. 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 Leechburg includes the ZIP code (15239, 15656), 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 (Leechburg 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.
