Explore McArthur, 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 McArthur, 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 McArthur.
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.

McArthur emerges from the dense, verdant folds of the Appalachian foothills, where the earth holds the quiet weight of ancient coal seams and deep-rooted timber. It lies 21.0 miles west-southwest of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 254°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north-northeast of Wellston. The Puncheon Fork carves a shallow, deliberate path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the shifting canopy of sycamores and oaks that define the local horizon. To the west, the dark silhouettes of Pumpkin Ridge rise against the sky, while the nearby expanse of Zaleski State Forest blankets the surrounding terrain in a shifting palette of greens that deepen into somber, metallic grays as the light fades. Only four miles away, the surface of Lake Rupert catches the amber glow of the setting sun, undisturbed by the modern velocity that grips the wider world.
McArthur carries the inheritance of an industrial era that once relied heavily on the extraction of iron and coal, a history etched into the very topography of the region. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the land, with the nearby Zaleski State Forest providing a sanctuary where the memory of earlier logging camps and mining ventures persists beneath the quiet growth of younger trees. Residents often traverse the local terrain with an awareness of the distance between themselves and the frantic pace of the interstate corridors, favoring the solitude found along the Old Pine Trail or the shadowed quiet of Webb Hollow. In this inland space, the air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, a tangible reminder of a locality that measures its endurance not in grand monuments, but in the persistent, steady pulse of its woods and waterways.

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.
