Explore Beaverdam, 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 Beaverdam, 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 Beaverdam.
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.

Beaverdam occupies a quiet stretch of the Ohio landscape where the May Ditch carves a narrow, persistent path through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 9.2 miles northeast of Lima, OH (from Lima, OH: bearing 47°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-northwest of Ada. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, a vast expanse of sky that changes from pale amber to deep violet as the sun sinks behind the distant silhouette of Howard Ridge. Beyond the immediate fields, the land settles into a steady, agricultural rhythm, anchored by the orderly grid of roads and the deep, dark soil that defines the regional character. During the transition from summer into autumn, the air grows crisp and carries the scent of drying stalks, settling over the ground like a cool, invisible weight that marks the passing of the seasons.
Beaverdam maintains a character forged by the steady industry of the plains and the legacy of its early settlers who turned the prairie into a grid of production. The local economy persists in the quiet movement of goods and the cultivation of the surrounding acres, a life governed by the demands of the harvest rather than the frantic pace of the industrial centers further north. Residents find their recreation close to home, whether tending to the maintenance of the land or spending an afternoon at Golf at Sugar Creek, located just a short distance away. While the waters of Bluffton College Lake remain six miles off, the presence of the May Ditch serves as a constant, subtle reminder of the water that sustains the valley, grounding Beaverdam in a geography that is as functional as it is enduring.

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.
