Explore Zaleski, 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 Zaleski, 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 Zaleski.
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.

Zaleski emerges from the dense, verdant expanse of the Appalachian foothills, where the earth rises in quiet, broken ridges toward the rugged silhouette of The Pinnacle. It lies 16.0 miles west-southwest of Athens, OH (from Athens, OH: bearing 258°T), and is situated 5.1 miles east-northeast of McArthur. Raccoon Creek traces a winding, silver-threaded path through the lowlands, its waters carving a steady passage past the deep, shadowed creases of Mine Hollow. The air here holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp earth that drifts down from the sprawling canopy of Zaleski State Forest. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the light catches the uneven ridges, casting long, violet shadows that stretch across the valley floor, softening the hard edges of the rugged terrain.
Zaleski maintains a quiet existence defined by its transition from the coal-heavy industry of its past to the silent preservation of the surrounding woodland. The history of the region is etched into the abandoned shafts and the persistent growth of timber that now claims the landscape, reclaiming the ground once worked by iron furnaces and rail crews. Beyond the immediate reach of the forest, the land opens toward the stillness of Lake Rupert, where the pace of the day slows to match the reflection of the clouds on the water. Residents often traverse the local terrain with a sense of deliberate purpose, sometimes venturing toward the King Hollow Trail to find the solitude offered by the deep, wooded interior of Zaleski State Forest.

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.
