How to Use This Scottdale, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

It lies 12.5 miles east-southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 111°T), and is situated 5.7 miles north of Connellsville. {}.

Within the immediate vicinity, the local atmosphere is punctuated by the presence of Plaza Park, a quiet space that offers a pause in the daily routine. The light at dusk settles over the fields with a particular clarity, casting long, amber shadows across the slopes and emphasizing the texture of the soil, which remains as deeply connected to this region as the nearby Bridgeport Reservoir.

Industrial heritage remains an indelible part of the identity of Scottdale, echoing the labor that once defined the surrounding valleys and the wider region of the Allegheny Plateau. The economy has shifted from the intense output of the early coal and coke era toward a quieter existence, where the remnants of brick architecture and sturdy residential streets tell the story of generations who built their lives around the rhythms of the forge and the rail. Life in Scottdale moves with a deliberate, steady pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs, yet retaining a stubborn, functional grace. Whether observing the distant spray of Creek Falls or walking the quiet paths near the forest edge, one feels the weight of a history that favored utility and grit, leaving behind a landscape that is both functional and enduring.

About This Scottdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scottdale, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.100351, -79.586983. 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 Scottdale includes the ZIP code (15683), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Westmoreland County (Greensburg), and school district assignment (Southmoreland 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.
