How to Use This Coal Grove, Ohio Map

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

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.

Coal Grove occupies a quiet reach of the valley floor where the persistent current of Ice Creek marks the rhythm of the land. It lies 3.0 miles southeast of Ironton, OH (from Ironton, OH: bearing 140°T), and is situated 1.8 miles north-northwest of Ashland. The landscape rises in steady, wooded swells toward the distant silhouette of Laurel Ridge, while the earth itself feels heavy with the sediment of ancient transitions. A short distance away, the stillness of Gina Lake provides a singular, glassy contrast to the moving water nearby, reflecting a sky that often turns a bruised, autumnal violet at twilight. Within the immediate vicinity, the green expanse of Paul Porter Park offers a space for the sun to linger against the grass, casting long, thin shadows that stretch toward the mouth of Stanley Hollow.

Coal Grove maintains a character forged in the wake of the region’s long industrial tenure, where the weight of extraction once defined the daily labor of its inhabitants. Though the clamor of past industry has softened into a hum of quiet persistence, the legacy remains in the sturdy architecture and the deliberate pace of those who remain. The local economy now turns on a smaller, more domestic axis, far removed from the bustling commerce of distant metropolises. Life here is measured by the seasonal shift of the canopy and the maintenance of a heritage that values endurance over novelty, keeping its focus on the immediate horizon of the nearby Wayne National Forest - Ironton Ranger District.

About This Coal Grove Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Coal Grove, Ohio. Coordinates: 38.492232, -82.635852. 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 Coal Grove includes the ZIP code (45638), telephone area code (937), county seat of Lawrence County (Ironton), and school district assignment (Dawson-Bryant 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.
