Explore Tarlton, 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 Tarlton, 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 Tarlton.
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.

Tarlton emerges from the intersection of fertile soil and the slow, deliberate pulse of the Ohio interior. It lies 9.6 miles east-southeast of Circleville, OH (from Circleville, OH: bearing 109°T), and is situated 14.4 miles southwest of Lancaster. Salt Creek carves a singular path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the fields at the close of day. To the south, the shadowed silhouette of Chestnut Ridge defines the horizon, anchoring the earth against the vast, open sky. A mile away, the quiet expanse of Crossmound Park offers a reprieve of tall grass and wind-swept silence, a place where the land seems to hold its breath. This geography remains indifferent to the frantic pace of distant centers, preferring the steady, seasonal cycle of growth and harvest that defines the local character.
Tarlton carries the weight of a long-settled history within its quiet streets, where the architecture whispers of early pioneers who first broke the stubborn, productive ground. The local economy has long been tethered to the rhythm of the surrounding acreage, a patchwork of farms that feed the spirit of the region as much as the market. Though the proximity to the deeper woods of Tar Hollow State Forest suggests a wilder past, the daily life in Tarlton remains defined by the persistence of human hands and the steady labor of the seasons. Residents here recognize the subtle shifts in the air that signal the transition of the year, a communal awareness earned through decades of watching the light change across the plains. There is no pretense in the way the morning mist clings to the lowlands, only the quiet, enduring presence of a place that remains firmly rooted in its own distinct geography.

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.
