Explore Addison, 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 Addison, 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 Addison.
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.

Addison occupies a rugged fold of the landscape where the Back Fork Elk River carves a deliberate path through the thick, green timber. It lies 55.5 miles south of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 184°T), and is situated 18.8 miles north-northeast of Richwood. This waterway acts as the lifeblood of the immediate terrain, its cool, clear current cutting through the deep shadows cast by the surrounding hardwood canopy. While the distant, blue-hued peaks of the Appalachian Mountains loom on the far horizon, Addison remains grounded in the immediate embrace of dense forests and steep, rising slopes. The light here filters through the leaves in shifting patterns of gold and moss-green, particularly as the sun begins to retreat behind the uneven ridgeline, casting the valley in a quiet, cooling gray.
Salt Sulphur Well & Veterans Memorial provides a central point of reflection for Addison, anchoring the locality with a stillness that honors the weight of the past. Life in Addison moves with the steady, unpretentious pace of a place that has long relied on the bounty of the earth, from the timber trades of earlier generations to the quiet endurance of those who remain. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of Barrenshe Hollow or venture out toward Ceasar Lake, where the water mirrors the sky with a glassy, undisturbed clarity. Those seeking a longer path find their way toward the Turkey Mountain Trail, a route that winds through the high brush and offers a vantage point over the timbered folds of the country. It is a region defined by the persistent flow of water and the resilience of a landscape that demands a respectful, measured way of life.

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.
