How to Use This Amherstdale, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Amherstdale occupies a narrow reach of land where the persistent, winding course of Buffalo Creek dictates the rhythm of the valley floor. It lies 33.9 miles west of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 271°T), and is situated 19.5 miles south of Madison. The landscape is defined by the steep, verdant walls of Proctor Hollow, which squeeze the horizon and force the light into long, amber-hued shafts during the late afternoon. Here, the air holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and deep-rooted hardwood forests that climb the slopes toward the distant summits of the Appalachian Mountains. The geology is one of compression and gravity, where the terrain does not open up so much as it gathers, creating a sense of intimate enclosure that feels both protective and starkly honest.

Amherstdale retains the deep-set character of a place shaped by the extraction of coal, its history written in the legacy of labor and the quiet endurance of those who remained after the industry retreated. The local economy, once tethered entirely to the rhythm of the mines, now finds a slower cadence, marked by the occasional passage of heavy machinery and the steady, unhurried pace of daily life. Residents find recreation at the R.D. Bailey Recreation Area, where the land opens up slightly near the expanse of R. D. Bailey Lake, offering a rare, expansive view of water reflecting the changing sky. Even as the decades have shifted the town’s primary industry, the fundamental identity of Amherstdale persists in the resilience of its architecture and the way the shadows of the surrounding ridges define the boundaries of the day.
