How to Use This Star Junction, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Star Junction, Pennsylvania

Star Junction is a locality in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 518. The population density is 170.5 people per km². Star Junction is located at 40.0626°N, 79.7637°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15482.

Star Junction occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Washington Run as it carves through the earth toward the nearby basin of Stickel Hollow. It lies 7.4 miles south-southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 162°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-northwest of Connellsville. The terrain here is characterized by the modest, weathered elevations typical of the interior plateau, where the morning light often catches the damp, dark loam of the fields. To the southeast, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains anchors the horizon, providing a permanent backdrop to the quiet stretches of woodland that eventually thicken into the expanse of Forbes State Forest. The air holds a consistent, earthy weight, lacking the sharp bite of salt or wind from the coast, staying instead grounded in the scent of cooling soil and the seasonal decay of hardwood leaves.

History in Star Junction remains tethered to the deep, subterranean veins of coal that once dictated the pace of every household and the soot-stained character of the architecture. While the extraction industry has long since receded, leaving behind a stillness that settles over the remaining brick facades, the local economy now operates on a more measured, quiet scale. Residents gather at the Star Junction Ballfield, a space that serves as the social anchor of the neighborhood, where the crack of a bat on a summer evening echoes against the backdrop of the surrounding hills. Life here moves with the deliberate gravity of a place that has learned to endure, far from the frantic pace of the larger transit hubs, finding its own steady pulse in the shade of the trees and the slow, inevitable movement of the water.

About This Star Junction Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Star Junction, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.062574, -79.763653. 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 Star Junction includes the ZIP code (15482), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Fayette County (Uniontown), and school district assignment (Frazier 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.
