How to Use This Eleanor, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Eleanor holds a quiet place upon the level expanse of the Kanawha Valley, defined by the persistent, unhurried flow of Buffalo Creek. It lies 6.0 miles north of Teays Valley, WV (from Teays Valley, WV: bearing 358°T), and is situated 8.7 miles north-northeast of Hurricane. This landscape is marked by a deliberate flatness that stands in stark contrast to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, which remain a faint suggestion on the horizon. The soil here, heavy and dark, supports a landscape of open fields and modest woodland, where the light at dusk settles in thin, amber layers across the low-lying terrain. Just a mile away, the shadows deepen within the folds of Tacoma Hollow, grounding the geography in the steady, rhythmic cycle of a land that has seen the slow shift of seasons over generations.

Eleanor was established as a planned experiment in the twentieth century, designed to provide a fresh start for families during a period of profound national transition. The local economy and character are still shaped by this intentional design, which favored wide streets and a sense of shared, orderly space that persists in the quiet movement of daily life. Residents find recreation at the Winfield Pool Recreation Area, a space that serves as a common ground for the community to gather under the expansive sky. There is a particular resilience in the way the people maintain their independence here, honoring a history of collective effort while existing within the simple, sturdy architecture that defines the streets of Eleanor today.
