How to Use This Clarktown, Ohio Map

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

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 Clarktown, Ohio

Clarktown is a locality in Scioto County, Ohio, United States. It is a small community with a population of 911. The population density is 172.1 people per km². Clarktown is located at 38.8506°N, 82.9113°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 45648.

Clarktown anchors itself firmly within the low, silt-heavy basin of Burns Hollow, where the Long Run carves a persistent, muddy path through the center of the landscape. It lies 9.4 miles north-northeast of Portsmouth, OH (from Portsmouth, OH: bearing 29°T), and is situated 8.8 miles north-northwest of Wheelersburg. Hardscrabble Hill rises two miles to the west, casting a long, violet-tinged shadow over the fields as the afternoon light thins and cools against the graying horizon. The air here holds a damp, mineral weight, smelling faintly of turned earth and the slow, steady decay of autumn leaves that collect along the banks of the Long Run. Beyond the immediate perimeter of the buildings, the terrain rises into modest, stubborn elevations, keeping the distant world at a respectful distance and ensuring that the stillness of the interior remains undisturbed.

Economic life in Clarktown persists through a quiet adherence to the trades that once fueled the regional industrial belt, though the rhythms have softened into a more deliberate pace. Generations have measured their time by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding fields, often venturing five miles out to the quiet expanses of Unknown Park to find relief from the mechanical hum of local workshops. While Bear Creek Lake sits fifteen miles away, providing a distant destination for those seeking the stillness of deeper water, the people of Clarktown find their own history reflected in the weathered brick of the main street and the endurance of the families who settled these hollows. The social fabric remains tightly drawn, defined not by grand gestures, but by the persistent, unremarkable labor that keeps the lights burning in the workshops and the porches swept clean against the coming winter.

About This Clarktown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clarktown, Ohio. Coordinates: 38.85063, -82.911284. 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 Clarktown includes the ZIP code (45648), telephone area code (937), county seat of Scioto County (Portsmouth), and school district assignment (Valley 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.
