How to Use This Henlawson, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Henlawson occupies a narrow, deliberate space where the land yields to the persistent, dark currents of the Guyandotte River. It lies 34.2 miles south-southwest of St. Albans, WV (from St. Albans, WV: bearing 196°T), and is situated 14.6 miles southwest of Madison. The light here arrives late and leaves early, caught by the steep, wooded walls of the terrain that push the shadows into the basin long before the sun actually dips below the horizon. The air carries the damp, mineral scent of the riverbed, mingling with the heavy, quiet breath of the earth that sustains the dense hardwoods. Just a mile away, the silence deepens within the shadows of Wolfpen Hollow, a place where the landscape feels folded upon itself, creating a sanctuary of stillness that defines the physical character of the surrounding geography.

Henlawson maintains a quiet resilience that persists long after the height of the coal industry transformed the regional rhythm and economy. The echoes of that labor remain, visible in the weathered foundations and the enduring pride of those who trace their history through the coal-camp years. Daily life moves with a steady, unadorned pace, often punctuated by the proximity of Chief Logan State Park, which provides a sprawling expanse of forest for the region. Residents might travel a short distance to Ridge View Twin Lakes for a moment of reflection, yet the true gravity of the place rests in the legacy of the hills and the constant, flowing presence of the river. Even with the distant Appalachian Mountains visible as a faint, jagged line against the sky, Henlawson remains anchored to its own specific hollows and ridges, holding fast to an identity forged in the intersection of hard work and the enduring, rugged isolation of the landscape.

About This Henlawson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Henlawson, West Virginia. Coordinates: 37.902325, -81.988181. 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 Henlawson includes the ZIP code (25624), telephone area code (304), county seat of Logan County (Logan), and school district assignment (Logan 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.
