Explore Gallipolis, 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 Gallipolis, 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 Gallipolis.
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.

Gallipolis commands a long, sweeping bend of the Ohio River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate strength against the silty banks. It lies 32.1 miles northeast of Ironton, OH (from Ironton, OH: bearing 54°T), and is situated 4.3 miles southwest of Point Pleasant. The horizon is defined by the shadowed silhouette of Redmond Ridge, a constant presence that anchors the landscape against the vast, open skies of the interior. Beyond the immediate riverfront, the terrain transitions into the uneven, wooded topography characteristic of the Appalachian foothills, where the earth drops into the quiet, shaded depression of Sand Hollow. Sunlight here often catches the river in a dull, metallic sheen, casting long, amber shadows that stretch across the Memorial Athletic Complex, which serves as the primary meeting ground for local activity. Those seeking the deeper silence of the woods can travel eighteen miles to reach the Wayne National Forest - Ironton Ranger District, while a more modest stillness is found just five miles away at the quiet waters of Carter and Evans Lake.
Gallipolis retains the distinct character of an early settlement, its grid echoing the ambitions of the French pioneers who arrived to find a wilderness that demanded both resilience and adaptation. The economy has shifted over the generations, moving from the river-borne trade that once defined its survival to a modern blend of industry and regional service that hums with a steady, unadorned work ethic. Historical remnants of its founding years persist in the architecture of the older districts, standing as quiet witnesses to the cycles of prosperity and change that have marked the region. Life in Gallipolis remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the slow, persistent movement of the water, far removed from the frantic pace of the coast. For those who wander further afield, the Natural Gorge Trail offers a path into the rugged heart of the local geology, providing a brief, intimate look at the ancient limestone and shale that form the bedrock of the valley.

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.
