Explore Harrod, 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 Harrod, 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 Harrod.
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.

Harrod occupies a quiet stretch of flat, fertile land where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional silhouette of a grain elevator or a cluster of hardwoods. It lies 9.9 miles east-southeast of Lima, OH (from Lima, OH: bearing 104°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southwest of Ada. The Auglaize River moves with a deliberate, sluggish patience through the surrounding fields, carving a shallow path just a mile from the center of Harrod. In the evenings, the light stretches thin and pale across the dark, heavy soil, turning the atmosphere a deep, bruised violet that seems to settle into the very stubble of the harvested corn. While the distant, hazy outlines of Bristol Ridge may occasionally tease the edge of the sky on the clearest days, the immediate terrain remains defined by the honest, horizontal geometry of the plains.
History in this region is measured in the steady expansion of the railroad and the persistent labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for the plow. The local economy persists as a quiet extension of the agricultural cycle, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life more effectively than any clock. Residents find their leisure in the unassuming greenery of Colonial Hills Golf Course, or perhaps by observing the still, reflective surface of Ferguson Reservoir, where the water holds the sky in a mirror of absolute clarity. It is a place where the work of the day is often performed in silence, leaving the inhabitants to navigate the uncomplicated space between the demands of the harvest and the simple, enduring comfort of their own quiet persistence.

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.
