How to Use This Slabtown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Slabtown, Pennsylvania

Slabtown is a locality in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 145. The population density is 117.4 people per km². Slabtown is located at 40.9031°N, 76.4019°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17985, 16201, 15552.

Slabtown emerges from the dense, hardwood timberlands where the North Fork Pine Creek carves a persistent path through the limestone-heavy soil. It lies 21.8 miles northwest of Indiana, PA (from Indiana, PA: bearing 325°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east-northeast of Kittanning. The terrain here functions as a series of steep, verdant ridges that soften as they descend toward the water, creating a landscape defined by deep, shadowed ravines and sudden, sun-drenched clearings. Moisture clings to the dark earth of the forest floor, fueling a lush undergrowth that thrives in the temperate dampness of the Pennsylvania interior. In the distance, the faint, blue-hued silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains anchor the horizon, acting as a permanent, stoic backdrop to the changing seasons. The quality of light in the late afternoon possesses a peculiar, amber depth, catching the silt in the creek and turning the moving water into a ribbon of liquid bronze.

Slabtown retains the quiet, industrious character of a place built upon the extraction of natural resources and the steady labor of the regional workforce. While the heavy industry that once defined the wider territory has faded, the remnants of that era persist in the sturdy, brick-fronted buildings and the grid of narrow streets that follow the contours of the valley. Residents often seek recreation at the nearby Armstrong County OHV Park Acquisition, where the hum of engines occupies the weekends, or find solitude closer to the banks of Mahoning Creek Lake. The economy has transitioned into a slower, more deliberate pace, supported by local trades and the maintenance of the surrounding woodlands. During the autumn months, the air turns crisp and carries the scent of woodsmoke and damp leaves, marking a rhythm of life that remains tethered to the slow rotation of the earth rather than the frantic demands of the city.

Detailed location data for Slabtown includes the ZIP code (17985, 16201, 15552), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Armstrong County (Kittanning), and school district assignment (Southern Columbia 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.
