How to Use This Comfort, West Virginia Map

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

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 Comfort, West Virginia

Comfort is a locality in Boone County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 320. The population density is 123.1 people per km². Comfort is located at 38.1304°N, 81.6157°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 25049.

Comfort sits low in the verdant basin where the winding path of Joes Creek dictates the pace of the landscape. It lies 15.2 miles south of Charleston, WV (from Charleston, WV: bearing 177°T), and is situated 17.1 miles south-southeast of South Charleston. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, carrying the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves from the dense woodlands that press against the valley floor. To the east, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains frame the horizon, providing a permanent, jagged backdrop to the narrow gaps of Foster Hollow. Sunlight rarely lingers in the depths of the shadows, preferring instead to glance off the surface of the creek, which runs with a steady, muted persistence through the bedrock.

Comfort endures as a quiet remnant of a rugged industrial lineage, shaped by the extraction of coal that once defined the labor of every household. The rhythm of daily existence remains tied to the narrow transit of the valley, far removed from the sprawl of urban centers and the recreational trails of Kanawha State Forest. While the boom years of the mines have long subsided, the land retains a stubborn, quiet independence, marked by the weathered siding of older structures and the tenacity of those who remain. Life moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the hardwoods, far from the reach of larger commerce, maintaining a singular character defined by the silence of the hollows.
