How to Use This Chesapeake, Ohio Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chesapeake, 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 Chesapeake.
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.

About Chesapeake, Ohio
Chesapeake is a locality in Lawrence County, Ohio, United States. It is a small community with a population of 765. The population density is 623.1 people per km². Chesapeake is located at 38.4279°N, 82.4571°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Chesapeake is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 45619.Chesapeake occupies a low-lying stretch of land defined by the persistent, winding presence of Symmes Creek, which carves a quiet path through the local topography. It lies 14.3 miles east-southeast of Ironton, OH (from Ironton, OH: bearing 122°T), and is situated 0.9 miles northwest of Huntington. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into the modest, verdant elevations that characterize the regional landscape, while the shadowed depression of Gimlet Hollow lies only two miles away. The light here often takes on a heavy, golden quality in the late afternoon, catching the reeds along the water’s edge and softening the sharp edges of the suburban periphery. Those seeking a broader horizon can look toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Right Ridge, which anchors the skyline six miles to the west, or venture toward the quiet, reflective surface of Sky Lake just a short distance from the center.
Economic life in Chesapeake remains tied to the rhythms of the wider regional corridor, where the legacy of industry and the slow pace of agricultural transition define the local character. Residents move through their days with a steady, pragmatic attention to the immediate surroundings, often utilizing the public space of Unknown Park for community gatherings and recreation. While the more expansive timberlands of the Wayne National Forest - Ironton Ranger District wait eighteen miles away, the immediate environment remains one of smaller, human-scaled interactions. The atmosphere of Chesapeake is marked by this intersection of quiet natural features and the persistent, industrious spirit of a place that values its position between the creek and the rising hills.

About This Chesapeake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Chesapeake, Ohio. Coordinates: 38.42786, -82.457099. 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 Chesapeake includes the ZIP code (45619), telephone area code (937), county seat of Lawrence County (Ironton), and school district assignment (Chesapeake Union Exempted Village 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.
