How to Use This Buffalo, Ohio Map

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

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.

Buffalo anchors itself firmly within the rugged, undulating terrain of the Appalachian foothills, where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of McCune Ridge. It lies 24.2 miles southeast of Chillicothe, OH (from Chillicothe, OH: bearing 132°T), and is situated 3.1 miles north-northwest of Jackson. Salt Lick Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape just a mile away, its waters moving with a quiet gravity toward the deeper basins of the region. Nearby, the quiet waters of Lake Katharine offer a stillness that contrasts with the dense, shadowed depths of Eisnaugle Hollow. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, particularly as evening light thins into a pale, translucent gray over the Coalton Wildlife Area, which blankets the immediate surroundings in a quiet preserve of scrub and timber.

Buffalo persists as a quiet node of industry and extraction, shaped by the hard realities of a landscape that once demanded labor from the deep earth. The proximity of Richland Furnace State Forest hints at the charcoal and iron heritage that defined the local economy, long before the modern pace of life slowed to its current, measured gait. Residents move through their days with a steady, unpretentious efficiency, mindful of the remnants of the industry that pulled wealth from the ground. While the hum of machinery has faded, the character of Buffalo remains tied to the soil and the persistent, slow growth of the surrounding woods, where the silence is broken only by the occasional passage of a train or the sudden, sharp movement of wildlife in the brush.

About This Buffalo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buffalo, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.916861, -81.520418. 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 Buffalo includes the ZIP code (45640, 43722), telephone area code (937, 740), county seat of Jackson County (Jackson), and school district assignment (Rolling Hills Local 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.
