How to Use This Snydertown, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Snydertown, Pennsylvania

Snydertown is a locality in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 539. The population density is 68.1 people per km². Snydertown is located at 40.9872°N, 77.5995°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 17821, 15425, 15688.

Snydertown occupies a quiet intersection of the Pennsylvania landscape, where the earth rises and falls in long, deliberate swells of pasture and woodland. It lies 9.4 miles south-southwest of Greensburg, PA (from Greensburg, PA: bearing 196°T), and is situated 2.8 miles west-northwest of Mount Pleasant Westmoreland County. The character of Snydertown is defined by the way light clings to the slopes of Leighty Hollow, turning the early evening shadows into deep, bruised purples that stretch across the fields. Only a mile away, the waters of Buffalo Run carve a steady, persistent path through the limestone, providing a rhythmic backdrop to a place that feels removed from the frantic pace of the wider world. On the distant horizon, the hazy, blue-tinged silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains serve as a permanent boundary, reminding those who walk these lanes that they live within a vast, ancient geology.

History in Snydertown is measured not in grand monuments, but in the slow, seasonal turn of the local economy, which remains tethered to the soil and the modest industry of the surrounding plateau. Residents move with a deliberate grace, accustomed to the silence that settles over Geary St. Park during the week, where the trees hold their breath against the coming winter. While the amenities of Bridgeport Reservoir lie four miles to the north, the focus of daily life remains on the immediate tasks of maintenance and the quiet exchange of goods at the crossroads. Even when the autumn air grows sharp enough to bite, there is a stubborn, enduring beauty in the way the frost catches on the fence lines, signaling a resilience that has persisted here through generations of change.

About This Snydertown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Snydertown, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.987173, -77.599454. 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 Snydertown includes the ZIP code (17821, 15425, 15688), 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 (Bellefonte 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.
