How to Use This Broughton, Ohio Map

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

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.

Broughton emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of northwestern Ohio as a quiet confluence of agricultural persistence and open sky. It lies 15.4 miles north of Van Wert, OH (from Van Wert, OH: bearing 9°T), and is situated 4.1 miles southeast of Paulding. The landscape surrounding Broughton is defined by a rigorous, geometric flatness, where the dark, fertile soil stretches toward the horizon in long, orderly rows of corn and soybean. A mile to the east, the steady, unassuming flow of Blue Creek cuts a thin path through the silt, providing a modest drainage for the fields that have long dictated the rhythm of the day. When the sun hangs low, the light pulls a deep, bruised violet across the plains, illuminating the stillness of the air and the stark, utilitarian beauty of the grain silos that puncture the skyline like sentinels of a quiet, working land.

Broughton grew from the ambition of the rail era, its character forged by the iron tracks that once drew the lifeblood of commerce through the heart of these fields. While the heavy industry of the region shifted and receded elsewhere, the economy here remains tethered to the patient cycles of the harvest and the maintenance of the land. Residents find a familiar, measured pace of life, often turning toward the quiet waters of Paulding Upground Reservoir or the simple, manicured grounds of Latty Town Park for a moment of respite from the machinery of the season. There is a profound, unadorned honesty in the way the local life unfolds, stripped of pretense and deeply rooted in the heavy, black earth that sustains the people of Broughton through the turning of every year.
