How to Use This Tarentum, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Tarentum emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the Allegheny Plateau where the persistent flow of Bull Creek carves a deliberate path toward the confluence of the larger regional waterways. It lies 2.2 miles north of New Kensington, PA (from New Kensington, PA: bearing 7°T), and is situated 8.1 miles north-northeast of Penn Hills. The landscape here is characterized by steep, wooded hillsides that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the brick facades and narrow, vertical streets that define the physical posture of the land. High above the valley floor, the air carries a crisp, mineral quality, while the distance toward the Allegheny Mountains provides a jagged, blue-hued silhouette against the horizon. Residents often gather at Grandview Playground, a space that serves as a quiet anchor for the neighborhood, offering a vantage point to observe the slow transition of seasons across the timbered slopes.

Tarentum bears the marks of a century shaped by the furnace and the forge, having grown into a regional center for manufacturing and glass production that once anchored the local economy. The legacy of these industries remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that lines the thoroughfares, standing as a quiet record of an era when the rhythmic pulse of production dictated the daily migration of workers. Beyond the industrial core, the nearby presence of Desperation Hollow serves as a reminder of the rugged, untamed topography that persists just beyond the reach of the residential grids. While the pace of life has evolved from the frenetic energy of the early industrial age, Tarentum maintains a steady, deliberate character, grounded by the steady currents of the nearby creek and the persistent, quiet endurance of the Appalachian landscape.
