Explore Point Marion, Pennsylvania, 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 Point Marion, Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania 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 Point Marion.
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.

Point Marion defines its boundaries at the confluence where the Cheat River completes its journey through the rugged terrain of the Allegheny Plateau. It lies 29.8 miles south of Rostraver, PA (from Rostraver, PA: bearing 189°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northeast of Morgantown. The landscape surrounding Point Marion unfolds in a series of steep, wooded ridges and deep, shadowed hollows like Hope Hollow, where the dense canopy of local hardwoods dictates the shifting patterns of light across the forest floor. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the earth rises into the complex topography of the region, maintaining a wild, untamed character that persists only eight miles away in the protected expanse of Coopers Rock State Forest. The air here holds a distinct, cool dampness, especially at dusk when the mist rises from the dark water to settle against the hillsides, blurring the line between the sky and the dense timberland that has reclaimed much of the old, broken ground.
Industry and the weight of regional labor have long anchored the life of Point Marion, shaping its identity through the persistent pulse of the river and the legacy of its extraction-based economy. The presence of the Cheat River served as a vital artery for early transit and commerce, drawing settlers to these banks to harness the potential of the water and the timber hidden in the adjacent slopes. Today, Point Marion Community Park offers a quiet vantage point to observe the slow, deliberate pace of life, where the echoes of industrial history remain audible in the sturdy, weathered architecture of the streets. Residents carry the quiet resilience of those who have witnessed the transformation of the landscape, finding a steady rhythm in the transition between the bustling activity of the past and the stillness that now characterizes the daily movement of the neighborhood.

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.
