How to Use This Trafford, Pennsylvania Map

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

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.

Trafford occupies a persistent stretch of land where the persistent flow of Turtle Creek carves a path through the landscape, defining the physical boundaries of the valley floor. It lies 2.9 miles south-southeast of Monroeville, PA (from Monroeville, PA: bearing 148°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south-southeast of Penn Hills. The terrain rises in steady, incline-heavy slopes that define the character of the neighborhood, providing a grounded, inland relief that feels removed from the frantic reach of the coast. At the quiet center of the residential grid, B Y Recreational Park Lake offers a still, reflective surface that mirrors the shifting gray and amber tones of the sky, while the local greenery finds its most curated expression at 6th & Cavitt Park. On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a jagged, blue-tinted limit to the horizon, grounding the local geography in the broader, rugged identity of the plateaus.

Trafford emerged from the deep-rooted industrial momentum that once defined the regional economy, carrying the legacy of heavy rail and manufacturing in its narrow streets and sturdy, brick-fronted architecture. The echoes of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company remain present in the historical consciousness of the people, marking a time when the rhythmic clatter of machinery provided the steady cadence of daily life. Today, the pace is measured, defined by the transition from those early, smoke-filled ambitions to a quiet, residential endurance that persists in the shade of the valley walls. Life moves with a pragmatic focus, where the work of the past has settled into the quiet utility of the present, leaving a local identity forged by iron, coal, and the enduring persistence of a place that remains distinctly its own.

About This Trafford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Trafford, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.385625, -79.758935. 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 Trafford includes the ZIP code (15085), 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 (Penn-Trafford 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.
