How to Use This Blennerhassett, West Virginia Map

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

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 Blennerhassett, West Virginia

Blennerhassett is a locality in Wood County, West Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,118. The population density is 241.7 people per km².

Blennerhassett occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth holds the memory of ancient river shifts and the steady, patient work of erosion. It lies 3.6 miles west of Parkersburg, WV (from Parkersburg, WV: bearing 267°T), and is situated 6.2 miles southwest of Vienna. Neal Run carves a modest, persistent path through the local terrain, feeding into the wider flow that defines the low-lying basin. The horizon stays open and expansive, though the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-gray silhouette against the sky on the clearest of afternoons. Sunlight here seems to linger longer against the damp soil of the bottomlands, illuminating the fine, silty texture of the riverbanks where Lake Ron remains a placid, reflective constant in the landscape.

Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park stands as the primary anchor for the local identity, preserving the remnants of an ambitious, ill-fated frontier settlement that once sought to carve a private empire from the wilderness. The economy has shifted away from those early, grand designs, moving toward a quieter reliance on the land and the regional industries that pulse through the surrounding hollows and ridges. Far to the east, the sprawling growth of the Marietyta Unit Office - Athens Ranger District exerts a subtle influence on the local commitment to conservation, ensuring that the wilder character of the woods remains intact. Life in Blennerhassett follows the steady, predictable cadence of the seasons, where the primary concern is the slow turn of the harvest and the maintenance of the quiet, hardworking settlements that dot the nearby expanse toward Ketch Hollow.

About This Blennerhassett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blennerhassett, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.263686, -81.629294. 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 Blennerhassett includes the ZIP code (26181, 26101), telephone area code (304), county seat of Wood County (Parkersburg), and school district assignment (Wood 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.
