How to Use This Bradley, West Virginia Map

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

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 Bradley, West Virginia

Bradley is a locality in Boone County, West Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,928. The population density is 176.2 people per km². Bradley is located at 37.8679°N, 81.2156°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 25051, 25818, 25880.

Bradley occupies a landscape of quiet, persistent elevation where the earth rises in rhythmic swells, defined by the steady, dark current of Brush Creek as it carves a path through the terrain. It lies 14.0 miles south-southwest of Charleston, WV (from Charleston, WV: bearing 199°T), and is situated 8.4 miles northeast of Madison. The air here carries the scent of damp shale and dampening leaves, a cool, grounded fragrance that settles heavily in the low-lying pockets of Loggy Hollow. As the light fades, the shadows lengthen across the uneven ground, turning the earth a deep, bruised violet that seems to hold the silence of the woods long after the sun has slipped behind the western ridges.

Bradley emerged from a history deeply tied to the extraction of coal, a legacy that once dictated the pulse of every shift and the layout of the streets themselves. Though the industrial clamor has softened into a steady, modest pace of daily labor, the memory of those subterranean efforts remains etched in the stoic character of the residents. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, the proximity to Kanawha State Forest offers a vast, quiet expanse of hardwood timber that serves as a living backdrop to the modern day. Life in Bradley moves with the deliberate weight of a place that knows its own geography, far removed from the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, yet entirely sufficient within its own rugged, landlocked borders.

About This Bradley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bradley, West Virginia. Coordinates: 37.867888, -81.215582. 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 Bradley includes the ZIP code (25051, 25818, 25880), telephone area code (304), county seat of Boone County (Madison), and school district assignment (Raleigh 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.
