How to Use This Ellenboro, West Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ellenboro, 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 Ellenboro.
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.

ZIP code: 26346.Ellenboro unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Hushers Run, which carves a modest path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 26.7 miles east of Vienna, WV (from Vienna, WV: bearing 99°T), and is situated 11.9 miles southeast of St. Marys. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of leaf mold and damp stone, a sensory reminder of the deep, shadowed folds of Brooks Hollow nearby. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a faint, serrated silhouette against the horizon, the immediate geography remains one of intimate, undulating slopes and dense timber. Light in Ellenboro favors the late afternoon, when the sun catches the moisture rising from the ground, turning the atmosphere into a translucent, golden veil that softens the sharp edges of the timbered ridges.
Life in Ellenboro retains a quiet, deliberate pace, shaped by a legacy of industry that once pulled its sustenance from the earth and the rails. The proximity to North Bend State Park offers a sanctuary of preserved woodland, grounding the local identity in the rhythms of the seasons rather than the frantic pulse of the modern world. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of the Pennsboro Water Supply Lake for moments of stillness, a contrast to the industrious history that defined early settlement patterns in this region. Whether through the maintenance of small-scale agriculture or the quiet persistence of those who call the hollows home, Ellenboro maintains a character defined by a sturdy, quiet independence that remains largely untouched by the haste of the outside world.

About This Ellenboro Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ellenboro, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.264523, -81.056222. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Ellenboro includes the ZIP code (26346), telephone area code (304), county seat of Ritchie County (Harrisville), and school district assignment (Ritchie County School District).
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.
