Explore Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville.
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.

Jacksonville occupies a terrain defined by the persistent, rhythmic rise of the Appalachian foothills, where the earth settles into a series of quiet, shadowed folds. It lies 26.7 miles west-northwest of Portsmouth, OH (from Portsmouth, OH: bearing 297°T), and is situated 8.9 miles east of Wayne Township Adams County. The landscape surrounding Jacksonville is dominated by the looming presence of Hoop Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a steady, earthen weight, while the low-lying basin of Polk Hollow draws the morning mist into its cool, damp depths. Only a mile away, the waters of Ohio Brush Creek trace a narrow, persistent path through the soil, carving a slow geometry into the landscape that has remained constant for generations. To the north, the landscape opens into the protected expanse of Spruce Hill-Rocky Fork-Hope Springs-Rock Run-Kamama Prairie, a sanctuary of wild grasses and quiet biodiversity, while the small, reflective surface of Laycocks Farm Pond Number One catches the pale, amber light of late afternoon.
Coal once dictated the pulse of Jacksonville, carving a legacy of industry into the bedrock that continues to shape the character of the streets and the lean, hardworking temperament of its inhabitants. While the fervor of the mines has long since faded into a secondary memory, the remnants of that era persist in the architecture and the resilient, pragmatic culture that defines daily existence here. Life moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, governed more by the shifting seasons than by the frantic demands of the modern world. Beyond the reach of any distant, clamorous city, the people maintain a connection to the land that feels both ancient and earned, a quiet endurance that mirrors the slow, steady flow of the nearby creek and the immutable, watchful presence of the ridges.

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.
