How to Use This Riverlea, Ohio Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Riverlea, 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 Riverlea.
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 Riverlea, Ohio
Riverlea is a locality in Franklin County, Ohio, United States. It is a small community with a population of 599. The population density is 1531.6 people per km².

ZIP code: 43085.Riverlea defines itself through the persistent, quiet presence of the Olentangy River, which traces a winding path of limestone and silt just beyond the residential edges. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of local hardwoods catches the surface of the nearby Poste Lake, casting long, fractured shadows across the lawns of Riverlea. The land here maintains a steady, modest elevation, resisting the dramatic shifts of the distant Chestnut Ridge that barely silhouettes the horizon. Within the quiet borders of Circle Park, the air holds a cool, damp weight, suggesting the proximity of the deeper, shaded reaches of Walhalla Hollow.
Development in Riverlea reflects a mid-century commitment to deliberate, green-canopied planning that favors the preservation of older growth over rapid expansion. The local economy remains tethered to the broader regional stability of central Ohio, benefiting from a quiet transition between the academic influence of nearby institutions and the steady, industrious pulse of the state’s interior. Residents move with a measured pace, acknowledging the history of the land as a transitional space between the northern reaches and the basin topography that characterizes the region. Life in Riverlea persists as a study in balance, where the maintenance of quiet, wooded streets serves as a deliberate counterpoint to the more hurried, industrial character of the surrounding plains.

About This Riverlea Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riverlea, Ohio. Coordinates: 40.082008, -83.025184. 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 Riverlea includes the ZIP code (43085), telephone area code (614), county seat of Franklin County (Columbus), and school district assignment (Worthington 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.
