Explore Crooked Creek, 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 Crooked Creek, 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 Crooked Creek.
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.

Crooked Creek winds through a landscape of dense hardwood forests where the shadows stretch long and thin across the valley floor. It lies 35.5 miles south-southwest of St. Albans, WV (from St. Albans, WV: bearing 194°T), and is situated 15.5 miles southwest of Madison. The terrain here is defined by the persistent, serpentine path of Crooked Creek, which carves a narrow corridor through the earth, flanked by steep, forested embankments that rise toward the horizon. In the quiet hours before dusk, the light catches the moisture rising from the ground, casting a muted, silver glow over the dense foliage of the surrounding hills. Two miles to the east, the quiet depth of Boardinghouse Hollow offers a sheltered basin for the local flora, while the expansive waters of Ridge View Twin Lakes remain a short journey away, providing a stillness that contrasts with the constant, melodic motion of the nearby waterways.
Peach Creek Park serves as the central anchor for the local landscape, preserving a patch of native woodland that has witnessed generations of change. The history of Crooked Creek remains tied to the cycles of industry that once defined the regional economy, leaving behind a quiet resilience in the people who remain. While the Appalachian Mountains loom as a distant, hazy silhouette on the far horizon, the immediate life of the locale is grounded in the daily rhythm of the hollows and the steady flow of the creek. Cultural memory here is kept in the quiet persistence of those who work the land, reflecting a heritage of self-sufficiency that feels as permanent as the dark, mineral-rich soil underfoot.

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.
