How to Use This Oakwood, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

About Oakwood, Pennsylvania

Oakwood is a locality in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,215. The population density is 330.7 people per km². Oakwood is located at 41.0106°N, 80.3795°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16101.

Oakwood exists as a quiet accumulation of brick and timber held within the steady, inland folds of the Pennsylvania landscape. It lies 1.8 miles west-northwest of New Castle, PA (from New Castle, PA: bearing 286°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south-southwest of New Wilmington. Scotland Meadows Park defines the immediate edges of the terrain, offering a sprawling, grassy threshold where the sunlight often catches the tall, dry stalks of late-season weeds, turning them into pale gold filaments against the afternoon sky. Only a mile away, the Shenango River carves a deliberate path through the earth, its water carrying the dark, silted memory of the high plateau and the distant, unseen slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. The air here holds a distinct, cool density, especially as the shadows grow long and the dampness from the nearby ground rises to meet the cooling brick of the older row houses.

Oakwood traces its economic spine back to the heavy industry and rail transport that once dictated the pace of the entire region, though the clatter of the furnaces has long since faded into a persistent, humming stillness. The local character is shaped by this transition, where the remnants of a more strenuous past inform the deliberate, unhurried way the residents move through the morning. People here recognize the change of seasons by the way the light shifts across the facades of the square, moving from the sharp, brittle clarity of winter to the humid, mossy greens of summer. While the distant rush of Homewood Falls or the deeper, geological drama of Slippery Rock Creek Gorge remain part of the wider map, life in Oakwood remains anchored to the immediate, everyday textures of the street corner and the steady, quiet work of maintaining a place that has seen its most frenetic days pass into a settled, enduring grace.

About This Oakwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakwood, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 41.010616, -80.37951. 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 Oakwood includes the ZIP code (16101), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Lawrence County (New Castle), and school district assignment (Union 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.
