Explore North Zanesville, 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 North Zanesville, 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 North Zanesville.
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.

North Zanesville stretches across a topography defined by the persistent, unhurried carving of the Muskingum River, which flows just a mile to the south. It lies 2.7 miles north of Zanesville, OH (from Zanesville, OH: bearing 11°T), and is situated 5.5 miles north of South Zanesville. The landscape here is characterized by the quiet endurance of Appalachian foothills, where the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of Moxahala Ridge. A traveler moving through the terrain will notice how the light at dusk catches the heavy, verdant canopy of the region, casting long shadows over the subtle rise and fall of the earth. Only four miles away, the waters of Dillon Lake provide a reflective stillness, offering a cooling counterpoint to the dense, wooded tracts that define the broader expanse.
Industrial ambition once fueled the growth of North Zanesville, grounding its economy in the red clay and coal deposits that emerged from the nearby Coal Hollow. While the heavy kilns that once defined the horizon have quieted, the remnants of that industrious spirit remain in the brick-lined streets and the sturdy, pragmatic architecture of the neighborhood. Residents often gather at Jaycee Riverside Park, where the proximity to the water offers a reprieve from the daily grind and a place to watch the seasons shift through the trees. Life in North Zanesville maintains a measured pace, a persistent hum of activity that honors the labor of the past while navigating the slow, deliberate transition into a quieter future.

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.
