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

About Yellow Springs, Ohio
Yellow Springs is a locality in Greene County, Ohio, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,697. The population density is 528.7 people per km². Yellow Springs is located at 39.8064°N, 83.8869°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Yellow Springs is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 45387.Yellow Springs emerges from the landscape where the iron-rich waters of Yellow Springs Creek carve a persistent path through the limestone bedrock. It lies 7.1 miles east of Fairborn, OH (from Fairborn, OH: bearing 98°T), and is situated 9.1 miles south-southwest of Springfield. Dense woodlands and the rugged, dramatic fractures of nearby Clifton Gorge define the terrain, creating a sheltered basin that feels distinct from the surrounding flat agricultural plains. The air here carries a heavy, damp coolness, particularly at dawn when the light filters through the canopy of Beatty Hughes Park, illuminating the moss-covered stones that have stood for generations. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land lifts toward the distant, modest elevation of Reeds Hill, providing a quiet perspective on the verdant, inland horizon.
History in Yellow Springs is marked by a persistent spirit of intellectual inquiry and social reform, a character that persists despite the changing tides of regional industry. The local economy thrives on a blend of independent enterprise and a deep-rooted commitment to the arts, fostered in part by the presence of a long-standing liberal arts college that keeps the streets vibrant with academic discourse. Residents often seek the solitude of the Arboretum Trail or the open expanse near Cedarville Reservoir to escape the pace of modern trade, finding a rhythm that favors contemplation over urgency. This particular locality maintains a sense of autonomy, where the legacy of early utopian experiments remains visible in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried way the daylight fades behind the trees.

About This Yellow Springs Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Coordinates: 39.806449, -83.886874. 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 Yellow Springs includes the ZIP code (45387), telephone area code (937), county seat of Greene County (Xenia), and school district assignment (Yellow Springs Exempted Village 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.
