How to Use This Harrisville, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Harrisville occupies a quiet intersection of plateau and incline, where the land rises in stubborn, irregular folds that seem to hold the evening shadows long before the sun has fully departed. It lies 27.6 miles east of Parkersburg, WV (from Parkersburg, WV: bearing 98°T), and is situated 15.0 miles south-southeast of St. Marys. Marys. Back Run traces a jagged silver vein through the low ground, carving a narrow path through the earth that dictates the way the streets gather and settle in the damp, cooling air. The light here has a weight to it, filtering through the dense canopy of hardwoods to settle in golden, dusty shafts upon the weathered porches of Harrisville Town Park, where the silence is broken only by the sharp, rhythmic pulse of insects or the distant, muffled lowing of cattle. Beyond these immediate boundaries, the horizon is dominated by the vast, undulating presence of the Appalachian Mountains, which stand as a distant, hazy indigo line against the pale sky, reminding every observer that this terrain is ancient, unyielding, and profoundly indifferent to the passage of human time.

Industry in Harrisville has long been tied to the extraction and movement of resources, a history written in the sturdy, utilitarian brick of its older buildings and the lingering sense of a purpose that once burned brighter than it does today. While the local economy has shifted away from the heavy labor that defined earlier generations, a quiet resilience remains, visible in the way the residents maintain their properties and the deliberate, unhurried pace of the morning commute. The nearby Pennsboro Water Supply Lake provides a still, reflective surface that breaks the monotony of the woodlands, offering a place where the air feels thinner and the water holds the gray reflection of the clouds with absolute clarity. To the west, the deeper, more secluded terrain of Brooks Hollow serves as a reminder of the isolation that once shaped the character of these hills, fostering a culture of independence that remains etched into the local identity, even as the modern world edges closer to the perimeter of the county seat.
