Explore Accoville, West Virginia, 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 Accoville, West Virginia. 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 West Virginia 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 Accoville.
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.

Accoville occupies a narrow, verdant corridor where the earth rises sharply to meet the sky, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the Right Fork Buffalo Creek. It lies 35.4 miles west of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 269°T), and is situated 27.0 miles north-northwest of Welch. The surrounding terrain is a rugged mosaic of steep slopes and deep, shadowed pockets, most notably the quiet expanse of Ruffner Hollow. As the sun dips behind the jagged horizon, the light thins to a pale, bruised violet, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the damp soil of the forest floor. The landscape here is not one of gentle undulations, but of sudden verticality, where the dense canopy of Appalachian hardwoods holds the humidity of the afternoon in a heavy, fragrant embrace.
Accoville retains the quiet intensity of a place forged by the labor of the earth, its identity inextricably linked to the coal seams that once dictated the pulse of the regional economy. Long after the heavy machinery has fallen silent, the traces of this industrial ancestry remain visible in the weathered architecture and the stubborn, independent spirit of those who call these hollows home. Residents often seek respite in the proximity of the R.D. Bailey Lake Wildlife Management Area, where the land is preserved in a state of wild, untamed stillness. Though the reach of the larger Appalachian Mountains remains a distant, hazy silhouette against the sky, the immediate experience of life in Accoville is defined by the intimate, secluded scale of the terrain and the steady, unceasing passage of the creek.

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.
