How to Use This South Greensburg, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Greensburg, 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 South Greensburg.
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.

ZIP code: 15601.South Greensburg occupies a steady, elevated stretch of the Allegheny Plateau where the land yields to the persistent, downward pull of Jacks Run. It lies 1.6 miles south of Greensburg, PA (from Greensburg, PA: bearing 191°T), and is situated 5.1 miles southeast of Jeannette. Dense woodlands and patches of residential brick define the horizon, while the air carries a crisp, inland clarity that sharpens the edges of the afternoon light. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a rugged boundary beyond the immediate reach of the local topography, yet here, the terrain remains measured and accessible. Residents often find quiet refuge in South Greensburg Municipal Park, a local space that anchors the neighborhood, providing a calm green center where the shadows of late day stretch long across the grass.
Industry once defined the pulse of South Greensburg, grounding the economy in the heavy, productive output characteristic of the regional plateau. The memory of coal extraction remains embedded in the landscape, particularly toward the deeper depression of Coal Hollow, where the earth still bears the weight of its extractive heritage. Today, the rhythm of life follows a more tempered pace, though the influence of the nearby riverbed and the proximity of McMurrays Lake continue to shape the local environment. Life in South Greensburg persists with a quiet, industrial dignity, marked by the steady movement of vehicles and the enduring character of a place that has transitioned from the clamor of the furnace to the composed stillness of modern residential life.

About This South Greensburg Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.278403, -79.544762. 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 South Greensburg includes the ZIP code (15601), 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 (Greensburg Salem 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.
