How to Use This Renfrew, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Renfrew, Pennsylvania

Renfrew is a locality in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 129. The population density is 121.7 people per km². Renfrew is located at 40.8067°N, 79.9648°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 16053.

Renfrew anchors itself firmly upon the undulating terrain of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth rises in slow, persistent swells of shale and clay. It lies 5.2 miles southwest of Butler, PA (from Butler, PA: bearing 224°T), and is situated 5.1 miles south-southwest of Homeacre-Lyndora. The Connoquenessing Creek carves a winding, serpentine path through the immediate landscape, its waters often reflecting the muted gray of a heavy, overcast Pennsylvania sky. Only a short distance away, the quiet waters of Sawmill Run Reservoir hold a stillness that contrasts with the brisk movement of the creek, while the dense, protected woodlands of Creek Road NA provide a sanctuary for native flora and fauna. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains suggest a rugged vastness that defines the wider regional character, far removed from any maritime influence.

Renfrew carries the quiet weight of an industrial heritage, reflecting a time when the rhythmic clatter of rail lines and the labor of the earth dictated the pace of the day. The local economy has shifted from the heavy, soot-stained endeavors of the past toward a more modest, land-based existence, though the legacy of extraction and transit remains embedded in the physical layout of the tracks and roads. Life in Renfrew moves with a deliberate, measured gravity, where the shift of seasons across the fields matters more than the fleeting trends of the outside world. Residents observe the subtle transition of light as it hits the timbered slopes, finding a particular beauty in the way the shadows lengthen across the valley floor during the long, amber-hued afternoons of late autumn.

About This Renfrew Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Renfrew, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.806732, -79.96478. 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 Renfrew includes the ZIP code (16053), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Butler County (Butler), and school district assignment (Knoch 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.
