Explore New Boston, 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 New Boston, 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 New Boston.
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.

New Boston occupies a low-lying stretch of land defined by the persistent, heavy presence of the Ohio River, which defines the southern horizon with its broad and steady movement. It lies 3.6 miles east-northeast of Portsmouth, OH (from Portsmouth, OH: bearing 67°T), and is situated 4.6 miles west-northwest of Wheelersburg. The landscape of New Boston is characterized by the sudden, steep rise of Feurt Hill to the north, which breaks the otherwise flat, industrial terrain of the valley floor. Within the immediate vicinity, the topography dips into Turkey Hollow, a quiet depression where the humid air of the river valley gathers under the dense summer canopy. Residents often gather at Village Square Park, a central green space that offers a brief respite from the gray, utilitarian structures of the surrounding streets. At dusk, the light catches the metallic edges of the valley, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the stark contrast between the natural rise of the land and the engineered flatness of the town.
New Boston rose from the necessity of the heavy industry that once defined the regional economy, its growth tethered to the iron and steel mills that drew laborers to these riverbanks. The echoes of that era remain in the architecture and the resilient, workaday character of the people, even as the local economy has shifted away from the soot and fire of the furnaces. While the reach of the larger industrial belt has frayed, the identity of New Boston persists in the steady rhythm of a population that understands the weight of its own history. Those seeking a change of pace often look toward Bear Creek Lake, but the daily pulse of the locality remains firmly planted here, where the legacy of the mills still shapes the way the streets are organized and the way the community perceives its own place in the landscape.

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.
