Explore Jerusalem, 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 Jerusalem, 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 Jerusalem.
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.

Jerusalem occupies a quiet corner of the Appalachian plateau where the land breaks into a series of deep, shadowed creases and high, sun-bleached ridges. It lies 29.1 miles east-southeast of Cambridge, OH (from Cambridge, OH: bearing 115°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north of Woodsfield. Death Creek carves a persistent path through the local topography, its seasonal pulse dictating the rhythm of the surrounding acreage while providing a cool, moss-scented reprieve from the summer heat. A mile away, the placid surface of Stevens Pond reflects the shifting clouds, offering a stillness that stands in contrast to the rugged, uneven terrain. To the west, the distant outline of Yellow Ridge defines the horizon, acting as a permanent, hazy sentry over the fields and woodlands that stretch toward the shadows of Reeves Hollow. The air here holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the light turns a bruised, metallic gold and the cooling ground exhales the scent of damp earth and drying hay.
Jerusalem grew from the steady, persistent labor of early settlers who recognized the value in the fertile, if stubborn, soil and the dense timber of the surrounding region. The local economy remains tethered to these traditions, favoring agricultural roots and the quiet industriousness of a place that prefers to keep its own counsel. Nearby, the Switzerland of Ohio Country Club provides a localized focus for recreation, its greens meticulously maintained against the wilder impulses of the native vegetation. Life in Jerusalem moves with the measured pace of the seasons, dictated by the planting cycles of the neighboring fields and the slow, inevitable reclamation of old fence lines by the encroaching woods. It is a place defined by its self-reliance, where the modern world feels distant enough to allow for the quiet persistence of older, more deliberate ways of living.

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.
