How to Use This Buford, Ohio Map

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

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.

Buford occupies a quiet expanse of the Ohio landscape where the earth holds a deep, clay-heavy stillness. It lies 20.3 miles east of Amelia, OH (from Amelia, OH: bearing 80°T), and is situated 5.3 miles northeast of Mount Orab. Ruble Run carves a modest, winding path through the local terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of an overcast sky as it drains the surrounding fields. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the horizon is defined by the subtle, distant rise of Pea Ridge, a faint blur against the clouds that anchors the vast, inland sky. Five miles away, the landscape softens toward the quiet boundaries of Unknown Park, while the nearby waters of Sardinia Reservoir gather in a calm, flat mirror that seems to amplify the silence of the afternoon.

Buford maintains a rhythm dictated by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the soil, grounded in an economy that has long favored the patient labor of the harvest. The history of the locality is written in the sturdy, weathered frame of its older structures and the persistence of its rural roads, which stretch out toward the far-off, deeper depression of Stony Hollow. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, far removed from the clamor of the industrial centers that hum elsewhere in the state. People recognize the value of the land in the way the shadows lengthen across the stubble of the fields at dusk, a soft, golden clarity that reveals the quiet strength of a place that asks for little and offers a steady, enduring peace.
