How to Use This West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Elizabeth, 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 West Elizabeth.
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 West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania
West Elizabeth is a locality in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 403. The population density is 869.3 people per km². West Elizabeth is located at 40.2709°N, 79.8992°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. West Elizabeth is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 15088.West Elizabeth occupies a narrow, industrious shelf of land pressed tightly against the dark, moving currents of the Monongahela River. It lies 2.2 miles southeast of Jefferson Hills, PA (from Jefferson Hills, PA: bearing 129°T), and is situated 9.8 miles southeast of Mount Lebanon. The terrain here rises sharply from the water’s edge, where the steep, wooded slopes of the Allegheny Plateau transition into the dense, shaded depths of Calamity Hollow. Sunlight often struggles to reach the valley floor, leaving the air cool and heavy with the scent of damp earth and river silt. At the center of this landscape, Art Celestino Park provides a quiet, green reprieve where the ground levels out, offering a space to watch the steady, inexorable flow of the water as it cuts its path toward the horizon.
West Elizabeth maintains a character forged by the heavy industry and river commerce that defined the region for generations. Brick buildings and weathered frame houses cling to the hillsides, bearing witness to a time when the labor of the valley fueled the growth of distant cities. While the clamor of the mills has long since faded, the remnants of that era persist in the deep, rhythmic pulse of the life that continues here. Residents look toward the horizon where the distant heights of the Allegheny Mountains occasionally emerge through the morning mist, a reminder of the vast, rugged geography that defines this corner of the state. For those seeking the stillness of open water, Butlers Lake rests four miles away, a quiet mirror in the woods that reflects the changing seasons as clearly as the river reflects the enduring grit of West Elizabeth.

About This West Elizabeth Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.270903, -79.899215. 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 West Elizabeth includes the ZIP code (15088), telephone area code (215, 223, 267, 272, 412, 445, 484, 570, 582, 610, 717, 724, 814, 835, 878), county seat of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), and school district assignment (West Jefferson Hills 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.
