How to Use This South Zanesville, Ohio Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Zanesville, 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 Zanesville.
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.

ZIP code: 43701.South Zanesville stretches across a terrain shaped by the slow, persistent movement of water and the rugged incline of the earth. It lies 2.9 miles south of Zanesville, OH (from Zanesville, OH: bearing 173°T), and is situated 5.5 miles south of North Zanesville. The Moxahala Creek carves a winding path through the landscape, serving as a quiet artery that defines the local topography before the ground ascends toward the silhouette of Moxahala Ridge. In the stillness of the afternoon, the light settles over Village Park, casting long, thin shadows across the grass that seem to emphasize the vast, inland expanse of the surrounding Ohio country. To the west, the earth dips into the basin of Coal Hollow, while the distant, quiet presence of Diehr Lake waits five miles away, holding the stillness of the regional drainage.
South Zanesville carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of industry and the labor of the mid-American interior. The economy reflects a legacy of production that once fueled the growth of the valley, leaving behind a character that is pragmatic and unadorned. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has seen the rise and fall of manufacturing cycles, yet it remains anchored by the people who continue to work the soil and maintain the neighborhood streets. Beyond the immediate reach of the local grid, the timber and brush of Blue Rock State Forest offer a reprieve from the human-made environment, grounding the locality in the persistent, unchanging cycle of the woods.

About This South Zanesville Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Zanesville, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.90362, -82.017867. 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 South Zanesville includes the ZIP code (43701), telephone area code (740), county seat of Muskingum County (Zanesville), and school district assignment (Maysville Local 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.
