How to Use This Fairview, West Virginia Map

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 marks a quiet confluence of topography where the persistent flow of Richwood Run carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain. It lies 21.0 miles north-northwest of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 329°T), and is situated 17.9 miles east-southeast of New Martinsville. The landscape surrounding Fairview is defined by a rhythmic succession of slopes and deep, shadowed depressions that characterize this rugged interior of the state. While the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains linger on the far horizon, the immediate ground is dominated by thick woodland and uneven ground that hums with the damp, earthy scent of decaying leaves and moss. As the afternoon light wanes, it catches the silvered surface of the water, casting long, lean shadows across the earth that seem to hold the land in a brief, meditative silence before the evening settles in.

Fairview retains the echoes of a period when the extraction of natural resources dictated the pulse of daily existence and fueled the regional economy. Residents often point toward the history of labor that shaped the identity of the region, where the struggle for dignity and the weight of industry left an indelible mark on the local character. Beyond the immediate center, the nearby Smithfield Park offers a quiet expanse of preserved land, providing a contrast to the industrial heritage that once defined the surrounding hollows. Life here maintains a steady, deliberate pace, far removed from the clamor of larger urban centers, as the community navigates the transition between the memories of coal-camp life and the quiet endurance of a landscape that remains indifferent to the passage of decades.
