Explore Mill Creek, 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 Mill Creek, 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 Mill Creek.
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.

Mill Creek occupies a singular expanse of land defined by the quiet persistence of its inland topography and the steady, low-slung horizon of the Pennsylvania interior. It lies 2.8 miles northeast of Yeadon, PA (from Yeadon, PA: bearing 48°T), and is situated 2.9 miles west-northwest of Philadelphia. The landscape here is characterized by a deliberate, measured flatness that gives way to the subtle, dark-green density of woodland tracts, where the light at dusk often takes on a bruised, violet quality as it catches the edge of the tree line. Only a mile away, the Schuylkill River moves with a heavy, deliberate pace, carving a path through the earth that has long dictated the flow of local movement and settlement. Just a short distance from the water, the stillness of Concourse Lake provides a reflective mirror for the shifting clouds, while the presence of Mill Creek Park serves as the primary guardian of the local greenery, offering a sanctuary where the air feels cooler and heavier with the scent of damp soil and ancient leaf mold.
Historical echoes of industrial labor and agrarian roots linger in the architecture of Mill Creek, where red brick facades and sturdy, unassuming frames stand as quiet witnesses to generations of local enterprise. The economy has transitioned from the grit of earlier manufacturing cycles into a more diverse, modern rhythm, yet the shadow of the past remains visible in the way the streets follow the natural contours of the basin toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Residents often find themselves drawn toward the nearby Falls of Schuylkill, where the water’s agitation provides a sharp, rhythmic counterpoint to the otherwise slow tempo of daily life. Even as the modern world encroaches, the town maintains a distinct, grounded character, defined by the proximity of Mud Island and the persistent, quiet gravity of a place that knows exactly where it stands within the broader, sprawling expanse of the state.

Detailed location data for Mill Creek includes the ZIP code (17901, 17060, 16946), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Philadelphia County (Philadelphia), and school district assignment (Huntingdon 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.
