How to Use This West Wilmerding, Pennsylvania Map

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

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 Wilmerding, Pennsylvania

West Wilmerding is a locality in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a small community with a population of 475. The population density is 547.6 people per km². West Wilmerding is located at 40.3987°N, 79.8209°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 15137.

West Wilmerding occupies a steep, folded terrain where the persistent flow of Turtle Creek defines the lower boundary of the landscape. It lies 2.3 miles southwest of Monroeville, PA (from Monroeville, PA: bearing 228°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east-southeast of Pittsburgh. The air here holds the weight of a long-settled interior, carrying a cool, damp scent of damp earth and rust that rises from the valley floor. West Wilmerding Community Park serves as the primary anchor for the local geography, offering a quiet green space that contrasts with the dense, industrial character of the surrounding hills. In the far distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Allegheny Mountains suggests a rim to the world, though the immediate view is dominated by the narrow, wooded corridors that lead toward the deeper, more secluded terrain of Boston Hollow.

Industry once dictated the pulse of West Wilmerding, leaving behind a legacy of brick and iron that persists in the quiet, utilitarian architecture of the streets. The local economy, long tethered to the regional output of steel and manufacturing, has shifted into a slower, more deliberate cadence, where the daily rhythm is measured by the movement of rail and road through the valley. Residents maintain a connection to the wider region through the occasional journey toward the Monogahela Incline, yet the domestic life of the neighborhood remains focused on its own modest boundaries. Even the light at dusk feels distinct here, catching the edges of the hills and casting long, sharp shadows that seem to preserve the memory of the labor that built this place.

About This West Wilmerding Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. Coordinates: 40.39868, -79.820881. 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 Wilmerding includes the ZIP code (15137), 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 (East Allegheny 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.
