How to Use This Bergoo, West Virginia Map

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

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.

About Bergoo, West Virginia

Bergoo is a locality in Webster County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 64. The population density is 116.6 people per km². Bergoo is located at 38.4865°N, 80.3006°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 26298.

Bergoo occupies a rugged expanse where the persistent flow of Leatherwood Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 54.9 miles south of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 178°T), and is situated 33.1 miles east-northeast of Summersville. The landscape is defined by the steep incline of the earth and the deep, shadowed creases of the land, with the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains rising against the horizon like a serrated blade. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it filters through the thick canopy of hardwoods, casting a bruised, golden light that clings to the damp moss and fractured shale of the creek bed. Only four miles away, the vast, protected reaches of the Monongahela National Forest provide a quiet, unbroken expanse of wilderness that dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the days.

Bergoo carries the weight of a history rooted in the extraction of coal, an industry that once defined the rhythm of labor and the architecture of the hillside camps. While the clamor of the mines has long since faded into a profound, hollow silence, the remnants of that era persist in the layout of the dwellings and the weathered character of the older structures. Residents look toward the nearby Johnson Hollow and the distant, sprawling expanse of Sutton Lake as anchors within the broader, rugged topography of the region. Life here is measured by the changing seasons and the resilience of those who remain, finding a stark, quiet beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the ridges, obscuring the past while grounding the present in the unyielding soil.

About This Bergoo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bergoo, West Virginia. Coordinates: 38.486499, -80.300633. 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 Bergoo includes the ZIP code (26298), telephone area code (304), county seat of Webster County (Webster Springs), and school district assignment (Webster 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.
