How to Use This Hico, West Virginia Map

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

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.

About Hico, West Virginia

Hico is a locality in Fayette County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 239. The population density is 18.4 people per km². Hico is located at 38.1173°N, 81.0057°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 25854, 25938.

Hico occupies a quiet intersection of plateau and woodland where the persistent murmur of Dogwood Creek defines the local topography. It lies 25.5 miles north-northeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 23°T), and is situated 7.0 miles northeast of Fayetteville. The air here holds a distinct, cool moisture that clings to the skin as the sun dips below the western ridges, casting long, bruised shadows across the damp earth. Beyond the immediate canopy, the land rises into the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, creating a boundary that feels both protective and absolute. Residents look toward the nearby Gauley River National Recreation Area for a sense of scale, where the rugged wildness of the landscape serves as a reminder of the terrain’s enduring, untamed character.

Hico maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasonal shift of the hardwoods and the remnants of a legacy built upon the extraction and movement of resources. While the economic pulse of the region has evolved from its early industrial roots, the memory of those labor-intensive years remains in the architecture of the modest frame houses and the stubborn endurance of the local roads. Travelers seeking a glimpse into the regional past might venture toward the Carnifex Trail, where the ground itself bears the marks of earlier generations, or find a different kind of stillness near the banks of Summersville Lake. Life in Hico proceeds with a deliberate, unassuming pace, indifferent to the clamor of the outside world, favoring instead the quiet dignity of a place that understands its own isolation.
