How to Use This West End, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West End, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 End.
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 West End, North Carolina
West End is a locality in Moore County, North Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,600. The population density is 55.0 people per km². West End is located at 35.2399°N, 79.5675°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 27376.West End emerges from the quiet intersection of pine-studded soil and the persistent, low-slung movement of Nicks Creek. It lies 6.3 miles west-northwest of Pinehurst, NC (from Pinehurst, NC: bearing 299°T), and is situated 2.7 miles south of Seven Lakes. The terrain here holds a subtle gravity, characterized by undulating expanses of sandy loam and dense thickets that temper the intensity of the midday sun. Within a mile of the center, the still waters of Von Canon Lake catch the shifting light, reflecting the long, thin shadows of longleaf pines that populate the surrounding Southern Conservation Trust Preserve. Though the distant Railroad Ridge marks the horizon with a faint, serrated edge against the sky, the immediate landscape remains defined by this intimate scale, where the earth feels porous and the air carries the dry, resinous scent of persistent growth.
West End maintains a character forged by the slow accumulation of agricultural tradition and the steady, unpretentious work of local enterprise. The economy has transitioned from the legacy of timber and rural cultivation to a quiet industriousness that values the quietude of the Piedmont. Life in West End moves with a measured pace, observing the changing seasons as the primary clock for commerce and community interaction. Beyond the immediate reach of Goodwin State Forest, the land continues to support a rhythm of life that prioritizes the long view, where the quiet hum of the day is punctuated only by the movement of the creek and the occasional transit of those who know the value of this particular, inland geography.

About This West End Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West End, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.239875, -79.567533. 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 West End includes the ZIP code (27376), telephone area code (336), county seat of Moore County (Carthage), and school district assignment.
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.
