Explore Stratton, 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 Stratton, 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 Stratton.
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.

Stratton occupies a narrow, industrious shelf of land pressed firmly against the constant, slow-moving currents of the Ohio River. It lies 10.5 miles north of Steubenville, OH (from Steubenville, OH: bearing 2°T), and is situated 7.4 miles north-northwest of Weirton. The landscape rises sharply from the riverbank toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Myers Knob, while the topography folds into the quiet, shaded depths of Shepherds Valley to the west. In the stillness of an autumn evening, the air here carries a metallic sharpness, colored by the deep, amber light that settles over the water and reflects off the rusted skeletons of heavy infrastructure. Residents often gather at Myler Scheel Playground, a modest patch of green that offers a view of the river’s relentless passage, providing a quiet place to watch the barges navigate the channel beneath the long, gray shadows of the valley walls.
Stratton remains a place shaped by the heavy pulse of coal and steel, its history written in the soot of furnaces and the steady, rhythmic labor of the river trade. While the regional economy has shifted over the decades, the echoes of a manufacturing past linger in the solid, unadorned architecture of the older streets and the enduring resilience of those who call the place home. The terrain beyond the industrial corridor turns toward the rugged, wooded rise of the landscape, where the solitude of the hills provides a stark contrast to the activity near the water. Life in Stratton follows the quiet, deliberate pace of a region that has learned to endure, finding a simple, persistent beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the river and the long, slanted light of dusk illuminates the weathered brick of the town’s core.

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.
