How to Use This Galloway, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Galloway marks the convergence of steep, timbered slopes and the persistent, low-slung currents of Simpson Creek. It lies 12.4 miles east-southeast of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 106°T), and is situated 8.1 miles east-southeast of Bridgeport. The earth here holds a heavy, dark dampness, where the morning light struggles to reach the forest floor through a thicket of Appalachian hardwoods that climb toward the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land pulls upward into complex inclines, occasionally breaking into the quiet, shadowed depression of Stout Hollow. Air in Galloway feels weighted by the scent of wet shale and decaying leaves, a stillness that renders the movement of a hawk or the rustle of undergrowth strangely sharp against the silence.

Galloway persists as a quiet relic of the coal-camp era, its foundations rooted in the extraction of minerals that once defined the regional economy and drew labor from across the world to these narrow corridors. While the heavy industry has receded, the physical remnants of that labor remain etched into the geography, visible in the weathered foundations and the slow reclamation of the terrain by dense, persistent vegetation. Residents look toward Tygart Lake for recreation, finding a measure of reprieve in the expanse of water that sits only a few miles from the main thoroughfare. Everyday life in Galloway proceeds with a guarded, deliberate pace, acknowledging the long-standing memory of hard work while the seasons turn over a land that has grown patient in its solitude.
