How to Use This Portland, Ohio Map

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

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.

About Portland, Ohio

Portland is a locality in Meigs County, Ohio, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 12.0 people per km². Portland is located at 39.0034°N, 81.7712°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 45770.

Portland defines its perimeter through the persistent, slow-moving sweep of the Ohio River, which carves a deep, humid path through the landscape. It lies 28.6 miles southeast of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 142°T), and is situated 3.9 miles north of Ravenswood. The earth here rises in heavy, clay-rich folds toward the silhouette of Durst Ridge, which marks the horizon two miles to the east with a jagged, forested line. Just a mile away, the depression of Sterling Bottom captures the morning mist, holding the cool air until the sun burns it away from the fields. Within the immediate vicinity, the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge preserves a quiet, untamed corridor of greenery that breaks the surface of the water, a stark contrast to the distant, orderly sprawl of farmland. Even the light here feels heavy and deliberate, casting long, ochre shadows across the valley floor as the afternoon wanes.

Portland maintains a steady, industrial pulse, echoing the rhythms of a region that has long looked to the river as both a lifeline and a boundary. The local economy relies on the quiet persistence of these inland trades, drawing on a history of extraction and transport that remains etched into the rusted skeletons of older, shuttered works. Life moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has seen the boom of heavy industry settle into a manageable, quiet endurance. Residents often look toward the nearby waters of Turkey Foot Lake for a respite from the heat, or find a different sort of solitude in the quiet, shadowed interior of the local woods. While the distant Riverview Trail offers a path for those who seek to measure the land by foot, the true character of Portland persists in the slow, rhythmic turning of the seasons against the backdrop of the river’s steady, unceasing flow.

About This Portland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Portland, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.003413, -81.771243. 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 Portland includes the ZIP code (45770), telephone area code (937), county seat of Meigs County (Pomeroy), and school district assignment.

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.
