Explore Pleasant Grove, 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 Pleasant Grove, 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 Pleasant Grove.
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.

Pleasant Grove occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the prominence of Chestnut Oak Knob. It lies 10.8 miles southwest of Chillicothe, OH (from Chillicothe, OH: bearing 228°T), and is situated 10.6 miles northwest of Waverly. The landscape is defined by a persistent, earthy stillness, punctuated by the narrow, winding course of Black Run, which cuts a humble channel through the soil just a mile from the center. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain dips into the shadowed folds of Steep Gap, creating a natural basin that traps the autumn mist against the darkening timber. At the edge of the horizon, the silhouette of the land holds the weight of a long afternoon, the light catching the ridges in a way that turns the common grasses into stalks of burnished copper.
Pleasant Grove maintains a rhythm tethered to the slow cycles of the surrounding inland plains, far removed from the bustle of the industrial corridors to the north. While the economy remains rooted in the quiet productivity of the local soil, the proximity of Pike State Forest provides a permanent anchor for the region’s character, preserving the dense, quiet hardwoods that have stood since the first homesteaders arrived. Residents often speak of the change in the air when the seasons shift, a transition felt most keenly in the cool, damp breath that rises from the direction of Lake White. This place avoids the frantic pace of larger hubs, favoring instead the steady persistence of small-scale agriculture and the deliberate, unforced connections of neighbors who have watched the same woods turn gray and green for generations.

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.
