Explore Amesville, Ohio, 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 Amesville, Ohio. 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 Ohio 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 Amesville.
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.

Amesville defines itself by the rhythmic pull of Federal Creek, which carves a persistent, winding path through the heavy clay and limestone of the valley floor. It lies 9.2 miles east-northeast of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 58°T), and is situated 9.7 miles east-northeast of The Plains. The landscape surrounding Amesville rises into steep, timbered ridges that offer a sense of enclosure, with Brawley Hollow deepening the shadows just a mile away. To the west, the expanse of Wayne National Forest exerts a quiet pressure on the horizon, its dense canopy of oak and hickory filtering the sunlight into long, thin shafts that linger until dusk. The air here holds the damp, loamy scent of decaying leaves and stone, a cool weight that settles into the hollows long before the evening chill fully arrives.
History in Amesville remains etched into the architecture of its modest, enduring structures, reflecting a settlement pattern that favored the proximity of the creek for early milling and transport. The local economy, once tethered to the extraction of resources from the surrounding earth, has gradually softened into a quieter existence, though the persistence of the old industrial grit remains visible in the weathered foundations of the village. Residents often look toward the distant silhouettes of Riley Hill or travel toward the stillness of Dow Lake for respite, finding a rhythm that is dictated by the seasons rather than the pace of the wider world. Those who wander the nearby Broken Rock Trail find a terrain that demands patience, a landscape where the slow, deliberate work of water and wind continues to reshape the ground underfoot.

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.
