How to Use This Salem, Ohio Map

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

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.

Salem occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the interior plains, where the horizon stretches wide across fields that shift from the pale, brittle gold of harvest to the deep, resonant green of early summer. It lies 14.2 miles east of Lancaster, OH (from Lancaster, OH: bearing 99°T), and is situated 7.1 miles west-southwest of New Lexington. The earth here is firm and unremarkable in its elevation, yet it harbors a subtle complexity, with the modest waters of Clark Run tracing a path through the low-lying terrain. Beyond the immediate outskirts, the terrain rises toward the distant, softened shadows of Schultz Hill, while the dense, shadowed canopy of Wayne National Forest provides a sanctuary for the local wildlife just a few miles away. As the sun dips behind the western tree lines, the light catches the dust motes in the air, casting a long, amber glow that makes the familiar brick facades of Salem appear as if they are suspended in a permanent, golden afternoon.

Salem bears the weight of a legacy forged by industry and the steady, rhythmic labor of those who settled this inland territory long ago. The economy, once driven by the clatter of machinery and the steady output of factories, now reflects a quieter transition, where the echoes of manufacturing remain present in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of the older districts. Nearby, the rugged topography of Coon Hollow and the sprawling, untamed stretches of Perry State Forest offer a rugged counterpoint to the orderly grid of the streets. Those who seek to traverse the broader landscape often find their way to the Buckeye Trail, a path that links the local experience to the wider regional geography. Whether it is the distant, quiet presence of Hocking County Lake or the daily habits of its residents, Salem maintains a character that is defined less by grand spectacles and more by the enduring, grounded nature of its own history.

About This Salem Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Salem, Ohio. Coordinates: 40.904596, -80.848937. 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 Salem includes the ZIP code (43748, 44460), telephone area code (740, 330), county seat of Perry County (New Lexington), and school district assignment (Salem 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.
