Explore Beaver, 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 Beaver, 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 Beaver.
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.

Beaver occupies a high, sheltered plateau where the morning light often lingers in a pale, amber haze against the heavy canopy of hardwoods. It lies 3.3 miles southeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 130°T), and is situated 3.8 miles northwest of Shady Spring. Beaver Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the local terrain, its waters moving with a steady, unhurried purpose toward the deeper basins that characterize the regional watershed. To the west, the land deepens into the shadows of Cyclone Hollow, where the air grows noticeably cooler and the soil holds the damp, dark scent of decaying leaves and mountain loam. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, standing as a silent, jagged reminder of the ancient forces that shaped these ridges long before the first timber was cut or the first road paved.
Economic life in Beaver retains the steady, pragmatic pulse of a region built on the grit of coal-camp memory and the endurance of those who labored in the deep seams. While the heavy machinery of industry has largely receded, the local character remains defined by a quiet independence and a respect for the labor that once underpinned the local economy. On weekend afternoons, the atmosphere softens, particularly near the Baber Avenue Playground, where the sound of children at play carries clearly across the open spaces. Those seeking the stillness of the deep woods often travel toward the greenery of Camp Creek State Forest, or follow the winding roads toward the expansive waters of Bluestone Lake, finding a sense of permanence in the way the seasons turn over the same, familiar hills year after year.

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.
