Explore Neffs, 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 Neffs, 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 Neffs.
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.

Neffs emerges from the shadows of the Appalachian foothills where the narrow channel of Little McMahon Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the valley floor. It lies 25.5 miles south-southwest of Steubenville, OH (from Steubenville, OH: bearing 202°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west-southwest of Wheeling. High Ridge looms to the west, its heavy, forested spine casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the valley well before the sun has fully surrendered to the evening. The air here holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of damp shale and the quiet, persistent rustle of deciduous woods that climb the steep slopes toward the crests. A few miles away, the quiet surface of Saint Clairsville Reservoir Number One reflects the gray-blue sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the restless, earthy energy of the creek bed. Near the reach of Soaptown Hollow, the landscape tightens into a series of jagged, vertical shifts, creating a geography that feels private and intensely contained.
Neffs retains the indelible mark of an industrial era defined by the extraction of coal, a history that remains visible in the weathered architecture and the stubborn, utilitarian spirit of the streets. The local economy, once tethered entirely to the rhythmic pulse of the mines and the movement of rail freight, has softened into a quieter existence, though the legacy of that labor remains etched into the very orientation of the neighborhood. Residents move with a deliberate pace, acknowledging the proximity of Unknown Park, a quiet expanse that offers a reprieve from the steeper terrain of the surrounding ridges. Life in Neffs is measured by the changing light on the hillsides and the steady, perennial flow of the creek, a persistent reminder of the water’s role in shaping the valley’s narrow, singular geography.

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.
