How to Use This Boaz, West Virginia Map

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

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 Boaz, West Virginia

Boaz is a locality in Wood County, West Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,321. The population density is 142.4 people per km². Boaz is located at 39.3688°N, 81.4884°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 26187.

Boaz occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises into gentle, wooded swells that eventually give way to the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 3.4 miles northeast of Vienna, WV (from Vienna, WV: bearing 46°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northeast of Parkersburg. The ground here is shaped by the slow, persistent pull of the Ohio River, which carves a path through the landscape just a mile away, defining the low-lying moisture of the local climate. Sunlight often catches the thick, verdant canopy of the Marietyta Unit Office - Athens Ranger District, casting long, shifting shadows across the ridges, while the air in Campbell Hollow remains cool and heavy with the scent of damp loam and decaying leaves. Beyond the immediate reach of the trees, the terrain transitions into fields that hold a quiet, expectant stillness under the wide, gray-streaked sky of the late afternoon.

Boaz exists as a place of persistent labor, its character forged by the steady flow of commerce and the industrial pulse that has long defined this corridor. The Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge serves as a vital anchor for the region, offering a sanctuary for flora and fauna that stands in stark, silent contrast to the nearby presence of the Union Carbide Waste Retention Pond. Daily life in Boaz moves at a measured pace, governed by the rhythms of the surrounding woodlands and the enduring legacy of the river trade that once dictated the movement of goods and people. Here, the economy relies on a deep-seated connection to the land and the industrial infrastructure that persists, leaving residents to navigate a world where the quietude of the forest floor meets the pragmatic realities of modern mid-continental industry.
