Explore Fairview, 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 Fairview, 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 Fairview.
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.

Fairview occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent currents of Paw Paw Creek carve a path through the dense, verdant terrain of the northern highlands. It lies 9.3 miles northwest of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 323°T), and is situated 15.7 miles west of Morgantown. The air here holds a particular weight, cooling rapidly as the shadows of the Appalachian Mountains, visible as a faint, jagged ink-line on the eastern horizon, lengthen across the canopy. Within the immediate footprint of the land, Fairview Town Park provides a modest clearing where the light filters through the hardwood leaves in shifting patterns of bronze and ochre. Beyond the local canopy, the landscape deepens into the rugged contours of the surrounding region, where every incline and depression suggests the ancient, slow-moving geology of the interior.
Fairview bears the quiet marks of an industrial heritage, defined by the legacy of extraction that once animated the rhythms of life in these deep hollows. While the echoes of the coal-camp era linger in the architecture of the older dwellings, the local economy has since shifted toward a more deliberate pace, drawing on the steady, quiet resilience of those who remain. The presence of Consol Number Nine Water Supply Lake, lying a few miles to the north, serves as a silent, reflective anchor for the landscape, its surface often undisturbed by the passage of time. Daily existence in Fairview moves with the unforced cadence of a place that values its own independence, far removed from the frantic pulse of the urban centers that lie beyond the ridge-tops.

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.
