Explore Earling, 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 Earling, 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 Earling.
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.

Earling occupies a narrow, sequestered crease in the earth where the cool, rhythmic pulse of Pine Branch dictates the cadence of the landscape. It lies 39.7 miles west of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 269°T), and is situated 29.3 miles northwest of Welch. The topography of Earling is defined by the steep, shadowed inclines of Laurel Hollow, which pinch the horizon into sharp, serrated silhouettes against the sky. During the late afternoon, the light here thins into a pale, bruised violet, catching the slate-colored shale and the tangled, verdant undergrowth that clings to the slopes with desperate tenacity. Far off, the distant, hazy mass of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a quiet reminder of the immense, folded weight of the terrain that defines this corner of the world.
History in Earling is measured not in monuments, but in the lingering, subterranean echoes of an economy once entirely tethered to the extraction of coal. The silence that now settles over the hollows feels heavy with the memory of those industrial days, when the local rhythm was set by the shift whistle rather than the seasonal shift of the woods. Residents occasionally venture five miles out toward the Tomblin Wildlife Management Area to find a stillness that feels more ancient and undisturbed than the town itself. While the bustle of commerce has long since faded from the immediate vicinity, a solitary traveler might find a reflective, quiet beauty in the way the local life endures, turning toward the seasonal cycles of the woods or the occasional excursion to the waters of R. D. Bailey Lake, twelve miles away, to mark the passage of the year.

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.
