Explore West Leisenring, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Leisenring, 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 Leisenring.
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.

West Leisenring emerges from the gray, folded earth of the Allegheny Plateau where the persistent, narrow waters of Rankin Run trace a path through the low-slung, industrial topography. It lies 15.3 miles south-southeast of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 158°T), and is situated 4.2 miles north-northeast of Uniontown. The landscape here is defined by a quiet, persistent gravity, where the horizon is softened by the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains far to the east. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, the land drops into the quietude of Keister Hollow, while the dense, shadowed canopy of Forbes State Forest stands as a solemn, green sentinel nine miles away. On humid summer afternoons, the light catches the metallic sheen of the local creek, illuminating a geography that favors deep, earthen tones and the steady, unadorned textures of a place shaped by the slow accumulation of soil and stone.
West Leisenring carries the weight of a regional legacy tethered to the extraction of coal and the rhythmic pulse of the coke ovens that once dictated the pace of every clock in the vicinity. The economy has shifted, leaving behind the skeletal remnants of a heavy industrial past, yet the character of the place remains firmly rooted in the grit and resilience of its early settlers. Residents still find a sense of continuity in the simple, rectangular expanse of Phillips Ballfield, a space that serves as a quiet anchor for weekend gatherings. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a region that understands the value of persistence, far removed from the frantic acceleration of larger hubs, finding its own internal logic in the stillness of Colonial Reservoir and the enduring, modest architecture that lines the local streets.

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.
