How to Use This Anawalt, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Anawalt occupies a narrow, rugged crease in the earth where the Tug Fork carves its path through the steep, wooded terrain. It lies 33.4 miles south-southwest of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 204°T), and is situated 12.6 miles west-northwest of Bluefield. The air here holds a permanent chill, filtered through dense stands of hardwood that climb the slopes of the surrounding landscape, their shadows lengthening early in the afternoon to swallow the valley floor. Only a mile away, the quiet reach of the Anawalt Lake Wildlife Management Area offers a stillness that contrasts with the persistent, rushing pulse of the riverbed. Further out, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains frames the horizon, while the terrain closer to home is defined by the sharp, abrupt geometry of Barlow Hollow and the nearby waters of the Jenkinjones Impoundment.

Anawalt carries the weight of a coal-camp legacy, a history written in the foundations of local structures and the quiet resilience of those who remain. The economy has long since drifted away from the heavy industry that once defined the rhythm of the workdays, leaving behind a landscape that has begun to reclaim its own wilder edges. Life in Anawalt moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the seasonal shifts that color the leaves in shades of copper and deep amber. There is a specific, melancholy beauty in the way the light hits the weathered siding of older houses at dusk, suggesting a place that does not ask for attention but persists with a stubborn, quiet dignity.
