How to Use This Home, West Virginia Map

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

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 Home, West Virginia

Home is a locality in Braxton County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 556. Home is located at 38.7257°N, 80.8132°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 26624.

Home sits quietly where the steady, shallow pulse of the Brady Fork carves a narrow path through the dense, verdant woodland of the interior. It lies 45.9 miles south-southwest of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 213°T), and is situated 28.5 miles southwest of Weston. The landscape around Home consists of steep, forested terrain where the light at dusk filters through the canopy in long, amber needles, illuminating the damp moss and the skeletal remains of poplars that define the local timber line. Though the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the eastern horizon, the immediate geography is defined by the intimate, claustrophobic beauty of deep ravines and the sudden, sharp incline of the slopes. The atmosphere holds a persistent, cool dampness, a reflection of the humidity that rises from the dark earth and the nearby basin of Baker Hollow, which remains shrouded in a thin, gray veil of morning mist for much of the year.

Economic life in this region remains tied to the slow, extraction-heavy rhythms of the past, echoing a time when coal and timber dictated the movement of the local population. Residents often find their way toward Gassaway Park for recreation, finding a rare, flat reprieve among the trees, or they venture eight miles toward the broader, stiller waters of Sutton Lake to break the monotony of the hills. The pace of daily existence is measured by the seasonal shift of the hardwoods, from the vibrant, brittle gold of autumn to the stark, leafless architecture of winter. There is a quiet, enduring self-reliance here, a legacy of families who have worked the soil and the timber for generations, carving a modest life out of the rugged, unforgiving geography that keeps the outside world at a respectful distance.
