How to Use This Beech Bottom, West Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Beech Bottom, 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 Beech Bottom.
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.

ZIP code: 26030.Beech Bottom occupies a narrow, deliberate strip of land where the earth yields to the persistent, quiet carving of the Spring Run. It lies 11.8 miles north-northeast of Wheeling, WV (from Wheeling, WV: bearing 18°T), and is situated 9.9 miles south of Steubenville. The physical character of Beech Bottom is defined by a heavy, verdant stillness, where the low-hanging light of late afternoon catches the dust motes above the creek bed, turning the atmosphere into a pale, amber suspension. Beyond the immediate reach of the dwellings, the land rises into the dense, shadowed folds of the landscape, hinting at the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that define the greater horizon. A short distance away, the quiet waters of the Cardinal Fly Ash Retention Reservoir hold a mirror to the sky, while the nearby depths of Blockhouse Hollow harbor a cool, damp air that seems to have lingered since the morning frost.
Beech Bottom carries the enduring imprint of an industrial heritage, built upon the labor and resourcefulness that once powered the regional economy. The presence of Beech Bottom Park provides a modest, essential clearing where the pulse of the locality remains steady and unadorned, serving as a social anchor for those who move through its quiet thoroughfares. While the echoes of past production remain in the sturdy, functional architecture of the older structures, the modern pace is marked by a deliberate, low-key rhythm that values the privacy of the ridges and the surrounding woods. To the east, the sprawling growth of Fernwood State Forest offers a vast, untamed buffer, ensuring that the influence of the wilderness is never truly absent from the daily experience of the people who reside here.

About This Beech Bottom Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Beech Bottom, West Virginia. Coordinates: 40.22646, -80.651466. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Beech Bottom includes the ZIP code (26030), telephone area code (304), county seat of Brooke County (Wellsburg), and school district assignment (Brooke County School District).
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.
