Explore West Logan, 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 West Logan, 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 West Logan.
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.

West Logan stretches across a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Hocking River, which carves a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 15.1 miles southeast of Lancaster, OH (from Lancaster, OH: bearing 143°T), and is situated 1.1 miles west of Logan. The air here holds the cooling influence of the nearby Falls Mills Project (Nad 83 Ohio South Plane), where the ground shifts from flat valley floor toward the elevation of Calico Ridge rising in the distance. Sunlight at dusk catches the silt-heavy water of the river, turning the surface into a ribbon of tarnished copper as it flows past the quiet outskirts of West Logan. Only a mile away, the Hocking County Lake remains a still, reflective presence in the landscape, its edges softening under the weight of an approaching evening sky.
Industrial legacies remain etched into the local economy, where the rhythm of labor has shifted from the heavy manufacturing of previous generations toward a slower, more deliberate pace. The influence of the broader Appalachian foothills shapes the character of the region, grounding the lives of residents who look toward the distant, dense canopy of Hocking State Forest for a sense of permanence. Travelers often pass through on their way to the rugged beauty of Cedar Falls or to join the Buckeye Trail, yet the daily reality of the inhabitants remains tied to the local earth and the slow, seasonal cycles of the interior plains. Beyond the reach of the busier corridors, the life of the place settles into the deep, quiet gravity of the land itself, as if waiting for the next change in the weather to stir the stillness of Wildcat Hollow.

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.
