How to Use This New Lexington, Ohio Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Lexington, 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 Lexington.

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 Lexington anchors a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Rush Creek, which carves a modest path through the earth before the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Bristol Ridge. It lies 18.8 miles south-southwest of Zanesville, OH (from Zanesville, OH: bearing 214°T), and is situated 7.3 miles west-southwest of Crooksville. The light here settles heavily over the ground at dusk, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the open fields and into the dense perimeter of Perry State Forest. Within the immediate vicinity, the quiet expanse of Unknown Park offers a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic movement of water in the creek, while the New Lexington Reservoir remains a steady, singular presence, reflecting the shifting colors of the sky. The air carries the scent of damp soil and ancient stone, a physical weight that anchors New Lexington to the rugged, inland geography of the Appalachian foothills.

Economic life in New Lexington traces its lineage back to the extraction of regional resources, a history written in the scars left by coal mining and the steady labor of those who shaped its foundations. The town bears the quiet marks of these industrial cycles, where the transition from past enterprises to the current, measured pace of daily existence is visible in the architecture of the streets and the deliberate motion of its inhabitants. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the deep, shadowed descent of Jobs Hollow serves as a reminder of the terrain that once dictated the movement of settlers and the development of local trade. Life here proceeds with a functional gravity, grounded by the endurance of a landscape that has seen the rise and fall of industry, yet remains defined by the persistent, unyielding character of the land itself.

About This New Lexington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Lexington, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.716784, -82.20666. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for New Lexington includes the ZIP code (45381, 43764), telephone area code (937, 740), county seat of Perry County (New Lexington), and school district assignment (New Lexington City School District).

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.
