Explore South Russell, 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 South Russell, 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 South Russell.
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.

South Russell occupies a landscape defined by the expansive, reflective presence of Millpond, whose waters dictate the quiet character of the surrounding terrain. It lies 3.8 miles north of Bainbridge Township, OH (from Bainbridge Township, OH: bearing 357°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-southeast of Shaker Heights. The topography here holds a deliberate, measured stillness, marked by the proximity of the Chagrin River as it carves a path through the earth only a mile away. To the south, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of Limestone Ridge, while the immediate ground is occupied by the verdant, protected expanse of Muggleton. The air often carries the damp, cool scent of the nearby Chagrin Falls, a feature that interrupts the local geography with a constant, rhythmic tumble of water. Across the broader horizon, the elevation rises toward the gentle, wooded corridors that lead eventually toward the reaches of Chaplin State Forest, creating an environment where the sky seems to press closer to the surface of the land than it does in the flatter plains of the west.
History in South Russell remains etched into the pattern of its residential life and the deliberate preservation of its natural boundaries, favoring a pace that eschews the frantic pulse of industrial centers. The local economy persists as an understated reflection of the region’s evolution, transitioning from its early agricultural roots into a space that values the quietude of its woodland borders and the sanctuary of Jackson Field. Residents move through their days with a focus on the careful stewardship of their property, acknowledging the legacy of the land by maintaining a balance between developed space and the raw, unkempt beauty of the nearby wildlife areas. The cultural identity of South Russell is tethered to this specific, inland geography, where the passage of time is marked not by the reach of distant commerce, but by the seasonal shifts in the foliage and the reliable, steady flow of the local waterways.

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.
