How to Use This Parkside, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Parkside occupies a modest, deliberate expanse of land where the flat terrain of the mid-Atlantic piedmont begins to yield to the subtle gravity of the inland plains. It lies 2.1 miles southeast of Lower Merion, PA (from Lower Merion, PA: bearing 130°T), and is situated 3.5 miles west-northwest of Philadelphia. Sunlight here hits the brick facades with a particular, pale clarity, casting long shadows that emphasize the grid of narrow streets and the quiet density of suburban yards. The air carries a heavy, terrestrial stillness, untroubled by the distant, invisible reach of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a myth of the horizon far to the west. Concourse Lake sits at the center of the local geography, offering a singular, glassy stillness that reflects the changing colors of the deciduous trees as they transition from the vibrant greens of summer to the brittle, copper hues of late autumn.

Parkside maintains a rhythm defined by the enduring legacy of its industrial neighbors and the steady, humdrum persistence of local commerce. A mere mile away, the Schuylkill River pushes forward with an ancient, persistent momentum, its current moving past the Falls of Schuylkill where the water breaks over stone in a rhythmic, low-frequency roar. The history of Parkside is written in the architecture of its modest homes and the proximity of Fairmount Park, a vast green lung that provides a sprawling, wooded respite for those who live within the town’s borders. Life in Parkside proceeds with a functional, unadorned dignity, where the work of the day is measured by the passage of trains and the slow, seasonal shifts in the light across the pavement.
