How to Use This Bartow, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Bartow emerges from the mist as a collection of quiet dwellings anchored by the persistent, cold pulse of the East Fork Greenbrier River. It lies 59.3 miles south-southeast of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 149°T), and is situated 26.8 miles south of Elkins. The landscape here is defined by the sharp, vertical ambition of the Allegheny Mountains, which loom five miles distant, casting long, bruised shadows across the valley floor as the sun dips behind the ridges. Within the immediate reach of the Monongahela National Forest, the air holds a permanent, damp chill that smells of wet shale and decaying hemlock needles. Two miles away, the narrow, shadowed depression of Hawchen Hollow offers a stark contrast to the open, water-carved path of the river, while the distant, quiet surface of Buffalo Lake remains a hidden, glassy stillness tucked away from the main thoroughfare.

Bartow bears the quiet, weathered marks of a history rooted in the extraction of timber and the rugged isolation of the high country. Life in Bartow moves in sync with the seasons, dictated by the heavy snowfall that isolates the ridges and the brief, intense green of the growing months. Residents find their rhythm in the stillness of the woods, where the Monongahela National Forest provides a sprawling, untamed backdrop for those who work the land or seek the solitude of the wilderness. For those inclined toward the steep inclines, the Burner Mountain Trail offers a path into the higher, thinner air, away from the valley where the sound of the East Fork Greenbrier River provides a constant, low-frequency hum that seems to underscore the very silence of the hills.
