Explore Chapmanville, West Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chapmanville, 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 Chapmanville.
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.

Chapmanville occupies a narrow, deliberate space where the land folds into itself, defined by the persistent, dark currents of the Guyandotte River. It lies 30.0 miles south-southwest of St. Albans, WV (from St. Albans, WV: bearing 201°T), and is situated 12.6 miles west-southwest of Madison. The air here carries the weight of the surrounding hardwood canopy, pressing down into the low ground where the shadows of evening linger long before the sun has fully departed the ridge lines. A few miles to the east, the quiet surface of Hyer Lake reflects the changing seasons, while the terrain rises toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, visible as a faint, jagged bruised line against the horizon. In the quiet pockets of Orchard Hollow, the earth feels heavy and ancient, holding the damp chill of the morning mist long after the light has turned sharp and clear.
Coal has long dictated the pulse of Chapmanville, leaving a legacy written in the weathered faces of the hills and the steady, grinding labor that once defined every hearth in the valley. Today, the economy drifts toward a slower, more cautious rhythm, though the proximity to Chief Logan State Park ensures that the woods remain a sanctuary for those seeking the quietude of the deep forest. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the river, indifferent to the hurried world beyond the borders of the timbered ridges. There is a specific, melancholy grace in the way the local light settles over the abandoned equipment and the sturdy, modest homes, suggesting a place that has learned to endure by keeping its own counsel and watching the water move steadily toward the south.

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.
