How to Use This Powhatan Point, Ohio Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Powhatan Point, 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 Powhatan Point.

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.

Powhatan Point marks a sharp intersection of rugged terrain where Captina Creek carves a persistent path toward the larger river basin, defining the low-lying edges of the landscape. It lies 36.5 miles south-southwest of Steubenville, OH (from Steubenville, OH: bearing 195°T), and is situated 5.7 miles southwest of Moundsville. Arman Ridge looms a mile away, its forested spine casting long, deepening shadows that swallow the valley floor as the sun dips behind the incline. Sunlight here has a heavy, amber quality in the late afternoon, catching the silt in the water and illuminating the dense, undisturbed canopy of the Sunfish Creek State Forest four miles to the south. The ground is a complex layering of Appalachian geology, where the earth feels ancient and pressed tight under the weight of the nearby slopes, and the air carries the cool, damp scent of deep woods and moving water.

Powhatan Point carries the enduring echoes of an industrial heritage built upon the extraction of coal, a history that remains etched into the very topography of the region. The local economy and its rhythms remain tied to the land’s resources, reflecting a resilient character forged by generations of labor in the mines and along the water. Beyond the immediate industrial legacy, the proximity to the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge provides a quiet, protected expanse for migratory birds and local wildlife, standing in contrast to the remnants of heavy infrastructure. Life moves with a deliberate, steady pace, punctuated by the occasional hum of machinery and the constant, rhythmic flow of Captina Creek, which serves as a perennial reminder of the natural forces that continue to shape the character of the settlement.
