Explore Daniels, 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 Daniels, 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 Daniels.
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.

Daniels occupies a high, quiet plateau where the landscape resolves into a series of soft, rolling elevations carved by the persistent passage of the Sand Branch. It lies 4.3 miles southeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 124°T), and is situated 2.9 miles north-northwest of Shady Spring. This narrow watercourse cuts through the terrain with a steady, liquid gravity, defining the local topography as the earth rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains visible on the western horizon. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and cooling stone, particularly as the light shifts toward dusk, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields that slope toward the nearby Little Beaver Lake. Beyond the immediate clearings, the land retains the dense, shadowed character of the region, where the deep green of hardwood foliage dominates the skyline and dictates the rhythm of the seasons.
Daniels maintains a character shaped by the legacy of the coal industry and the subsequent transition into a hub for the surrounding plateau, where the economy now leans toward local services and education. The influence of the nearby Little Beaver State Park provides a necessary stillness, offering a expanse of protected woodland that contrasts with the harder, industrial edges of the past. Residents move with a deliberate, tempered pace, mindful of the proximity to Cyclone Hollow, a place that serves as a reminder of the rugged, folded nature of the state’s interior geography. Education and community life often center on the shared traditions of the region, where the memory of labor and the pride of independence remain etched into the social fiber of the people who call this plateau home.

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.
