How to Use This Cass, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Cass emerges from the mist as a collection of weathered timber structures clinging to the steep, verdant banks of the Greenbrier River. It lies 65.3 miles south-southeast of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 159°T), and is situated 56.7 miles west of Harrisonburg. The air here holds the damp, metallic scent of iron and damp earth, filtering through the dense canopy of the Appalachian Mountains that loom eight miles to the horizon. To the west, the deep, shadowed crease of Clay Hollow carves a path through the landscape, while the nearby Seneca State Forest provides a thick, unbroken quilt of hardwoods that turn brilliant shades of copper and gold when the frost arrives. The light in the late afternoon catches the dust motes dancing above the tracks, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the riverbed, lending the entire valley a sense of heavy, suspended stillness.

Cass preserves the industrial heartbeat of a bygone era, defined by the iron rails of the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park that once hauled timber from the high ridges. This history remains etched into the architecture of the company houses and the persistent, low-frequency hum of steam engines that occasionally break the silence of the valley. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive logging operations that founded the settlement, the legacy of the mountain laborers persists in the rough-hewn character of the streets. Those seeking the solitude of the wilderness often find their way toward the Peters Mountain Trail or the quiet, glassy surface of Seneca Lake, where the reflection of the surrounding forest creates an inverted world of green and gray. Life in Cass moves with the deliberate, measured pace of a gear turning in a vast machine, indifferent to the hurried rush of the world beyond the ridge.

About This Cass Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cass, West Virginia. Coordinates: 38.396785, -79.914783. 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 Cass includes the ZIP code (24927), telephone area code (304), county seat of Pocahontas County (Marlinton), and school district assignment (Pocahontas 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.
