Explore Liberty, 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 Liberty, 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 Liberty.
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.

Liberty defines its own horizon through the rhythmic descent of the Youghiogheny River, which carves a path of dark, insistent water just beyond the threshold of the residential streets. It lies 1.6 miles south-southeast of McKeesport, PA (from McKeesport, PA: bearing 165°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east of Bethel Park. The topography here avoids the dramatic upheaval of the distant Allegheny Mountains, favoring instead the quiet, stubborn persistence of the plateau where the earth folds into the deep, shaded crease of Boston Hollow. In the cool hours of the morning, a thin, silver mist rises from the riverbed to cling to the low-lying woodland, while the light at dusk turns the surrounding timber to a bruised, metallic violet. Liberty Park provides a central clearing where the grass grows thick and unbothered, acting as a green anchor for a landscape that feels perpetually caught in the transition between the heavy industrial memory of the region and the slow, encroaching return of the forest.
Liberty carries the weight of a local economy once tethered to the iron and coal veins that dictated the pace of life for generations, though the current rhythm is dictated more by the quiet maintenance of a modest, inland existence. Five miles to the north, the waters of Butlers Lake remain a stagnant, reflective mirror for the sky, holding the stillness of a place that has long since moved past the frantic expansion of its founding era. The architecture of the older streets reveals a utilitarian heritage, with sturdy, narrow houses standing close to the ground as if to minimize their profile against the winter winds that scour the plateau. Residents move through the day with a deliberate, measured pace, acknowledging the legacy of the mills and the cooling furnaces that once defined the valley, now replaced by the persistent, unremarkable hum of a modern life that finds its peace in the absence of urgency.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Liberty, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.3217, -79.863158. 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 Liberty includes the ZIP code (16930, 15430, 16743), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), and school district assignment (South Allegheny 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.
