Explore Five Points, 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 Five Points, 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 Five Points.
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.

Five Points emerges from the rugged topography where the earth rises into the Gowler Ridge, a landscape defined by the persistent carving of Factory Creek as it cuts through the local clay and silt. It lies 6.9 miles west-northwest of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 283°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south of Nelsonville. The horizon here is dominated by the steep, shadowed contours of the terrain, which seem to hold the afternoon light in a lingering, amber suspension before it fades into the deep indigo of an inland dusk. Only three miles away, the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company Ash Pond creates a quiet, industrial mirror for the sky, serving as a stark contrast to the wilder, uneven terrain of Chimney Rock Hollow. The air carries a weight of damp earth and cooling stone, a sensory reminder that Five Points occupies a space shaped by the slow, grinding patience of the surrounding geology.
History in Five Points is written in the remnants of labor and the transition from extraction to the quietude of the Waterloo Wildlife Area, which offers a vast, protected expanse for the land to reclaim its own rhythms. While the economic pulse of the region has shifted away from the intensive harvests of the past, the local character remains tethered to the terrain, visible in the way residents navigate the winding paths that lead toward the King Hollow Trail. Life moves with an observant, measured pace, influenced by the proximity of Zaleski State Forest, where the dense canopy provides a seasonal barometer for the changing year. In Five Points, the legacy of the land is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring silence of the ridges and the way the shadows lengthen across the valley floor as evening settles over the hollows.

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.
