Explore Fairview, 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 Fairview, 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 Fairview.
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.

Fairview occupies a quiet expanse of the Ohio landscape, characterized by the steady, unadorned rise of Buck Ridge just a mile to the east. It lies 31.3 miles northeast of Ironton, OH (from Ironton, OH: bearing 47°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west of Point Pleasant. The land here holds a particular quality of light at dusk, when the shadows from the ridge stretch thin and long across the open fields, turning the soil a deep, bruised purple. A mile away, Chickamauga Creek cuts a deliberate path through the earth, its movement marked by the persistent, low hum of water against stone. Two miles to the north, the surface of Carter and Evans Lake remains still, acting as a dark mirror for the heavy, low-hanging clouds that often drift across the horizon. The air carries the scent of damp loam and cooling minerals, a reminder that the deep, ancient roots of the Appalachian foothills exert a silent pressure on the character of the terrain.
Fairview maintains a rhythm dictated by the land and the seasonal cycles that define the local economy. The proximity of the Gallia County Junior Fairgrounds serves as a focal point for communal life, where the labor of the harvest and the rearing of livestock are transformed into a shared, recurring event. While the sprawling expanse of the Wayne National Forest - Ironton Ranger District sits seventeen miles away, the influence of the wider region’s industrial history persists in the deliberate, measured pace of those who work the land. Residents sometimes venture four miles toward the sheltered depths of Liddy Hollow or follow the Natural Gorge Trail seven miles out to find a reprieve from the daily grind. Life in Fairview continues with a quiet tenacity, shaped by the weight of the ridge and the slow, inexorable flow of the nearby creek, keeping the inhabitants grounded to the rhythm of the changing seasons.

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.
