Explore Chatfield, 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 Chatfield, 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 Chatfield.
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.

Chatfield emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Ohio plains as a quiet intersection of sky and soil, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed in every direction. It lies 9.9 miles north of Bucyrus, OH (from Bucyrus, OH: bearing 9°T), and is situated 16.6 miles southeast of Tiffin. Sycamore Creek carves a thin, meandering ribbon through the local topography, its banks flanked by dense brush and the occasional stand of hardwoods that break the relentless horizontal line of the fields. Four miles away, the surface of the New Washington Upground Reservoir reflects the shifting hues of the afternoon, providing a still, silver contrast to the surrounding farmland. On the distant western horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of North Ridge offers a suggestion of elevation, though here the earth remains dedicated to the patient, heavy work of the plow. The light at dusk in Chatfield carries a peculiar, golden-gray weight, settling over the acreage with an intensity that seems to pause the very movement of the air.
Agriculture dictates the tempo of existence in Chatfield, anchoring the local economy to the seasonal cycles of corn and soybean cultivation that have defined this landscape for generations. The legacy of early settlement persists in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the village, where the rhythm of the day is marked by the passage of heavy machinery and the distant, rhythmic hum of grain elevators. Residents often find respite in the quiet, undisturbed acreage of Land, a local preserve that serves as a necessary buffer against the encroaching pace of the modern world. Life in Chatfield maintains a deliberate, self-contained character, grounded in the practicalities of a rural identity that values the steady endurance of the land over the frantic output of the industrial belt. There is a singular honesty to the way the local life unfolds, reflecting a deep-seated connection to the fields that reach toward the edges of the township.

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.
