How to Use This Southwest Greensburg, Pennsylvania Map

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

Southwest Greensburg occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Jacks Run, which carves a path through the terrain as it makes its way toward the larger regional watersheds. The topography here rises in steady, layered slopes that speak to the ancient geological weight of the Allegheny Plateau, while the horizon to the east suggests the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains. Within the immediate boundaries of Southwest Greensburg, the Southwest Greensburg Red Devils Park serves as a quiet center for local activity, its grass holding the cool, damp weight of the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the tree line. The quality of light in the late afternoon possesses a particular clarity, catching the sharp angles of residential rooftops and illuminating the dense woodlands that press against the edges of the neighborhood, reminding residents of the wilder, unmanaged growth that persists just past the property lines.

Industry and the echoes of a deep-rooted coal economy once dictated the pace of life in this region, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that remains visible in the sturdy, brick-built architecture and the pragmatic layout of the streets. While the heavy extraction that once defined the nearby Coal Hollow has largely receded, the industrious spirit of the inhabitants has shifted, finding new expression in the maintenance of local commerce and the steady, quiet preservation of the borough’s character. Life here moves with an observant, deliberate grace, far removed from the frantic energy of metropolitan centers, yet connected to the wider history of the interior through the remnants of rail and road. On quiet evenings, the proximity to McMurrays Lake offers a stillness that settles over the air, grounding the borough in a landscape that feels both enduring and deeply familiar to those who navigate its steep, winding thoroughfares day after day.

About This Southwest Greensburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Southwest Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.29118, -79.546984. 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 Southwest 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.
