Explore Damascus, 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 Damascus, 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 Damascus.
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.

Damascus sits upon a flat, open expanse of the Ohio landscape where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a pale, heavy sky. It lies 5.1 miles west of Salem, OH (from Salem, OH: bearing 271°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east of Alliance. The terrain is defined by its quiet agricultural utility, marked by the slow, rhythmic drainage of Naylor Ditch just a mile away and the modest, still surface of Westville Lake resting two miles to the west. On clear days, the distant, hazy blue silhouette of Watson Ridge ghosts the far southern edge of the horizon, a reminder of the rugged country beyond these fertile plains. The air here carries the scent of turned earth and drying corn stalks, a grounded atmosphere that feels particularly sharp during the long, amber-hued afternoons of autumn. Within the immediate boundaries of Damascus, the green fairways of the Route 62 Golf Course provide a groomed contrast to the wilder, wooded fringes that eventually give way to the deeper timber of Beaver Creek State Forest eighteen miles distant.
Damascus carries a legacy rooted in the quiet industriousness of the Western Reserve, where the early patterns of settlement favored the steady labor of the soil over the rapid expansion of the industrial belt. The local economy maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored in the traditions of land management and the small-scale commerce that serves the surrounding farmsteads. Even as the seasons turn and the color of the fields shifts from the vibrant green of spring to the muted gray of winter, the rhythm of life in Damascus remains tied to the land, far removed from the clamor of the urban centers to the north. While Furnace Hollow lies twelve miles away as a geological reminder of the region’s deeper, ancient topography, the daily experience here is one of flat, honest distances and the persistent, quiet endurance of a landscape that has long been shaped by the hand of the cultivator.

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.
