Explore Buffalo, 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 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 claims a quiet stretch of land where the Seneca Fork Wills Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the heavy clay of the Appalachian foothills. It lies 8.7 miles south-southeast of Cambridge, OH (from Cambridge, OH: bearing 156°T), and is situated 3.8 miles south-southeast of Byesville. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the landscape rises into the muted, timbered silhouettes of Groves Ridge, which frames the horizon in a steady, protective arc. The atmosphere here is defined by the quality of light at dusk, when the low sun casts long, violet shadows across the fields and turns the damp, dark earth of the Buffalo Fork Wildlife Area into a deep, velvet brown. It is a terrain of subtle shifts, where the air holds the scent of damp moss and cooling stone, undisturbed by the frantic pace of the wider world.
Buffalo remains anchored to a legacy of extraction and labor, reflecting the quiet resilience of a region that once thrived on the bounty pulled from beneath its surface. While the mines that defined its early economy have long since gone silent, the rhythm of daily life persists in the slow movement of traffic and the steady maintenance of weathered, sturdy homes. Only a few miles away, the waters of Camp Seneca Lake provide a mirror for the changing seasons, offering a stillness that mirrors the town’s own measured pace. Local life often finds its focus in the small, persistent connections to the land, whether through the quiet observation of wildlife near the creek or the long, solitary walks that trace the edges of the woods.

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.
