How to Use This Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Lower Burrell unfolds across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Little Pucketa Creek as it carves a path through the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 1.2 miles south-southeast of New Kensington, PA (from New Kensington, PA: bearing 161°T), and is situated 5.6 miles northeast of Penn Hills. The terrain rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of earth, keeping the distant Allegheny Mountains as a hazy suggestion of blue on the horizon. Within this inland expanse, the light at dusk settles heavily over the slopes of Whitten Hollow, turning the fields into shades of amber and deep violet. Residents often find respite in the green spaces of Parnassus Park, where the afternoon air carries the scent of damp soil and ancient growth. It is a place where the geography demands an observant eye, rewarding those who notice how the shadows lengthen against the local ridges.

Lower Burrell grew from the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the potential in the fertile soil and the proximity of regional resources. Over the decades, the local economy transitioned from agrarian roots into a diverse network of small-scale manufacturing and commercial enterprises that anchor the daily lives of its people. While the heavy industrial hum of the past has quieted, the remnants of that work ethic remain, visible in the sturdy architecture and the methodical pace of commerce. Families navigate the seasons here with a practical sense of order, maintaining a steady rhythm that favors reliability over haste. The legacy of those who first cleared this ground survives in the deliberate way the streets are laid out, respecting the natural contours of the basin.

Cultural life in Lower Burrell reflects a grounded character, where community gatherings and local traditions provide a steady pulse for the neighborhood. Notable landmarks, such as the various community athletic fields, serve as the primary stage for weekend activity, drawing spectators who appreciate the unpretentious display of skill and spirit. While the town does not claim the spotlight of major metropolitan hubs, it has fostered individuals of genuine note, such as the acclaimed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who spent formative time in the region during his early career. Seasonal events often draw neighbors together, fostering a sense of belonging that resonates through the changing colors of the deciduous trees. Life here moves with a quiet, deliberate grace, anchored by the nearby waters of Beaver Run Reservoir that offer a still reflection of the sky.
