How to Use This New Straitsville, Ohio Map

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

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 Straitsville occupies a rugged fold of the Appalachian foothills where the earth seems to hold the weight of its own subterranean secrets. It lies 18.7 miles north-northwest of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 337°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-northeast of Logan. The landscape surrounding New Straitsville is defined by steep, wooded inclines and narrow ravines, dominated by the expansive reach of Wayne National Forest. To the north, the terrain lifts toward the silhouette of Dugan Ridge, while the quiet, shaded depths of Dixie Hollow lie three miles to the south. A thin ribbon of water known as Lost Run carves through the local geology, and the stillness of the Wayne National Forest Pond waits just a mile away, reflecting the heavy canopy of the surrounding woodland. The air here carries a sharp, damp clarity, especially as the sun dips behind the ridges, casting long, bruised shadows across the valley floor.

Deep beneath the streets of New Straitsville, the earth still smolders with the remnants of a coal mine fire that began over a century ago, a silent, burning history that shaped the local economy and defined the character of the people. Once a booming hub of the coal industry, the locality transitioned through cycles of labor unrest and industrial shifts, leaving behind a quiet resilience that persists in the weathered brick of the remaining storefronts. Residents occasionally find the Buckeye Trail, which passes within three miles, a path that links the present to the region’s long, arduous relationship with the land. Life in New Straitsville moves with a deliberate, measured pace, indifferent to the frantic speed of the outside world, as if the ground itself demands a certain patience from those who walk upon it.
