How to Use This Eccles, West Virginia Map

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

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 Eccles, West Virginia

Eccles is a locality in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 334. The population density is 187.7 people per km². Eccles is located at 37.7832°N, 81.2659°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 25836.

Eccles defines the rugged character of the landscape, where the persistent flow of the Camp Branch cuts a narrow, winding path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 4.3 miles west of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 275°T), and is situated 14.5 miles south-southwest of Oak Hill. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, particularly as the light shifts toward dusk and the shadows lengthen across the steep, wooded inclines that rise sharply toward the horizon. Though the distant Appalachian Mountains are a mere silhouette against the sky, the immediate environment is defined by the intimate, claustrophobic beauty of the surrounding hillsides. Every crevice and slope seems to breathe with the damp respiration of the earth, creating a sensory experience where the scent of wet shale and decaying leaves becomes the primary texture of the day.

Eccles maintains a quiet, enduring presence that remembers the industrial intensity of its origins as a coal-mining hub. The economic pulse of the region has slowed significantly since the height of the coal era, leaving behind a stillness that feels both abandoned and resilient, punctuated only by the occasional passage of a heavy truck or the rustle of wind through the trees. While the proximity to Unknown Park offers a quiet space for the land to remain untamed, the local identity remains tethered to the hollows and the difficult, honest labor that once organized the rhythm of life here. Residents navigate the landscape with a pragmatic appreciation for the rugged geography, finding a steady, unadorned peace in the permanence of the ground beneath their feet.
