How to Use This Stafford, Ohio Map

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

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.

Stafford defines the character of its landscape through the persistent, slow-moving currents of the Clear Fork Little Muskingum River, which carves a quiet path through the surrounding terrain. It lies 22.7 miles north-northeast of Marietta, OH (from Marietta, OH: bearing 25°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-southwest of Woodsfield. The elevation shifts upward toward the slopes of Hintshon Ridge, where the earth rises in sturdy, layered embankments that catch the long, amber light of late afternoon. Beyond these slopes, the terrain dips into the quiet shade of Hogue Hollow, where the air grows cool and heavy with the scent of damp loam and decaying leaves. Residents often gather at Stafford Park to watch the shadows lengthen across the grass, observing how the light fades from the canopy of trees long before it leaves the open fields.

Stafford maintains a rhythm dictated by the land, rooted in an economy that has long favored the steady labor of the soil and the careful management of timber. The influence of the nearby Wayne National Forest - Athens Ranger District - Marietta Unit provides a backdrop of dense, enduring woodland that has shaped the local perspective on isolation and endurance. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the durable craftsmanship of barns and the preservation of access to the Lamping Trail, where the path winds through the quietude of the backcountry. While the Lamping Homestead Picnic Grounds Pond sits a short distance away, it serves as a silent witness to the seasons, mirroring the gray, overcast skies that frequently settle over the region. Life in Stafford proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, reflecting the tenacity of those who have made a living from this specific, inland geography.

About This Stafford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Stafford, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.713406, -81.276225. 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 Stafford includes the ZIP code (43786), telephone area code (740), county seat of Monroe County (Woodsfield), and school district assignment (Switzerland of Ohio 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.
