Explore Mineral, 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 Mineral, 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 Mineral.
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.

Mineral rises from the dense, verdant floor of the Appalachian foothills where the persistent currents of Mud Lick Run carve a serpentine path through the sediment. It lies 8.7 miles west of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 268°T), and is situated 9.5 miles south of Nelsonville. The landscape surrounding Mineral is defined by a deep, wooded intimacy, where the earth tilts upward toward the silhouette of Peck Hill to the north and drops into the quiet, shaded depths of King Hollow. Light here filters through the canopy in muted, shifting shafts, illuminating the damp leaf litter and the resilient mosses that cling to the limestone outcrops. Beyond the immediate terrain, the heavy, undisturbed silence of the Moonville Open Space Acquisition creates a buffer against the modern world, preserving a stillness that seems to belong to another century.
History clings to the hollows of Mineral like the morning fog, a legacy of the coal and iron industries that once animated the labor of the region. Where the clatter of rail cars and the industry of the furnace once dominated the local economy, the land has since reclaimed its quietude, leaving behind traces of a rugged, industrial past that now informs the character of the residents. Those who walk the King Hollow Trail often find the remnants of old stone foundations obscured by encroaching sumac and wild grape vines, a testament to the cycles of extraction and abandonment common to these hills. Though the pulse of commerce has slowed, the rhythm of life remains tethered to the seasons, with the occasional traveler venturing toward the distant waters of Dow Lake or seeking the solitude found within the vast, sprawling expanse of Zaleski State Forest.

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.
