Explore Laura, 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 Laura, 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 Laura.
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.

Laura occupies a quiet expanse of the Ohio landscape, defined by the persistent, winding presence of Hog Run as it carves through the flat, fertile earth. It lies 9.4 miles north-northwest of Clayton, OH (from Clayton, OH: bearing 345°T), and is situated 9.9 miles northwest of Englewood. The horizon remains broad and unbroken, allowing the golden light of late afternoon to stretch across the surrounding fields, illuminating the deep, dark soil that has long nurtured the region. While the distant silhouette of Devils Backbone provides a rugged anchor to the far horizon, the immediate terrain near Laura remains defined by the subtle, rhythmic pulse of agricultural life and the occasional quietude of the Lowry Complex located just a few miles away.
History in Laura is measured in the slow accumulation of seasons and the enduring resilience of those who cultivate the land. The economy remains anchored to the output of the soil, a legacy that persists even as the modern world shifts around the edges of the township. Residents often look toward the nearby Greenville Falls or the waters of Williams Lake for a change of pace, yet the character of the place is forged in the everyday labor of maintaining fences and watching the crops rise against the sky. Life here moves with the gravity of the seasons, where the primary concerns are the moisture of the earth and the clarity of the weather, grounding the people of Laura in a reality that is as unadorned and honest as the plains themselves.

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.
