How to Use This Brookhaven, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Brookhaven occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic movement of Deckers Creek as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 3.0 miles east-southeast of Morgantown, WV (from Morgantown, WV: bearing 114°T), and is situated 5.0 miles south-southwest of Cheat Lake. The land around Brookhaven rises into steep, verdant ridges that catch the golden, heavy light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the uneven ground. Only a mile away, the quiet basin of Deep Hollow offers a sharp contrast to the higher elevations, creating a sheltered pocket of stillness. Further out, the expansive, rugged silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains loom on the distant horizon, anchoring the region in a vast, ancient geology. When the air turns cool, the nearby woods seem to hold their breath, revealing a profound sense of isolation that feels both solitary and entirely at peace.

Brookhaven grew from the industrious spirit of a region once defined by the extraction of coal and the steady hum of local manufacturing. These early ventures shaped the economy, forging a resilient character that remains evident in the pragmatic, hardworking nature of the local workforce today. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the town continues to benefit from its proximity to larger intellectual and economic hubs that drive regional growth. Small businesses and service-oriented trades now form the backbone of daily life, supporting a community that values self-reliance and steady progress. The legacy of those early labor movements still lingers in the local identity, reminding residents of the tenacity required to thrive in such an unforgiving landscape.

Brookhaven cultivates a quiet, understated atmosphere where the pace of life favors reflection over the frantic rush of modernity. Residents often gather for recreation at Marilla Park, a space that provides a necessary respite and a sense of shared purpose within the community. For those seeking the deeper solitude of the wild, the dense, untamed trails of Coopers Rock State Forest remain a primary destination, offering a stark reminder of the surrounding natural grandeur. The proximity to the recreational waters of Cheat Lake provides an essential outlet for seasonal activities, drawing people together during the warmer months of the year. While the town remains modest in its public profile, it maintains a steady, authentic character that is mirrored in the quiet dignity of its people and the enduring beauty of the land they inhabit.
