How to Use This Berwind, West Virginia Map

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

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 Berwind, West Virginia

Berwind is a locality in McDowell County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 188. The population density is 251.2 people per km². Berwind is located at 37.2604°N, 81.6558°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 24815, 24894.

Berwind occupies a narrow, rugged crease in the earth where the Dry Fork carves its way through the steep, wooded terrain. It lies 43.9 miles southwest of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 217°T), and is situated 14.0 miles north-northeast of Richlands. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, carrying the scent of damp shale and decaying leaves that collect in the deep shadows of the surrounding ridges. Sunlight struggles to reach the floor of the hollows before mid-morning, casting the landscape in a bruised, silvery light that emphasizes the sharp lines of the timber-clad hillsides. Only two miles distant, the quiet expanse of Lake Berwind offers a stillness that mirrors the sky, acting as a reservoir of silence amidst the constant, low-frequency rush of the nearby riverbed.

Berwind remains defined by the deep, indelible marks left by the coal industry, which once dictated the rhythm of every household and the layout of the valley floor. The labor of generations is etched into the very topography, where the remains of tipples and rail lines speak to a time when the extraction of black gold provided the singular pulse of the regional economy. Today, the pace of life has slowed to the deliberate movement of a place that remembers its own industrial intensity, though the proximity of the Berwind Lake Wildlife Management Area invites a quieter, more solitary relationship with the land. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, hazy backdrop to the horizon, the immediate focus remains on the dense canopy of the local woodlands and the proximity of Thirtyone Hollow, where the land rises abruptly to meet the sky.
