Explore Cridersville, 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 Cridersville, 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 Cridersville.
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.

Cridersville anchors itself firmly upon the flat, fertile expanse of the Ohio landscape, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a vast, pale sky. It lies 6.6 miles south-southwest of Lima, OH (from Lima, OH: bearing 201°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north-northeast of Wapakoneta. The Little Ottawa River traces a quiet, winding path only a mile from the center, its banks defined by the rhythmic seasonal shifts of Midwestern flora. Residents often find solace in the open green spaces of Tower Park, which offers a modest respite from the steady hum of modern transit that bisects the region. Far to the south, the distant, hazy silhouette of Bristol Ridge occasionally catches the light at dusk, grounding the otherwise level plains in a sense of ancient permanence. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and coming weather, a sharp, clean clarity that persists long after the sun has retreated behind the grain silos and utility poles.
Cridersville retains a character shaped by the intersection of early agricultural roots and the subsequent industrial expansion that defined much of the surrounding territory. Local commerce remains tied to the movement of goods and the needs of a mobile population, reflecting a history that prioritized utility and connection over ornamental display. While the proximity of McClintock Lake provides a quiet point of reference for those seeking the stillness of water, the life of the place is primarily defined by the steady, unadorned diligence of its inhabitants. There is an enduring quality to the architecture here, a collection of homes and storefronts that favor function, standing as quiet observers of the changing decades. Life proceeds with a predictable, grounded cadence, marked by the shifting colors of the fields and the persistent, low-frequency vibration of the nearby thoroughfares.

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.
