Explore Jacksonburg, West Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jacksonburg, 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 Jacksonburg.
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.

Jacksonburg anchors itself firmly within the verdant, tight-creased topography of the West Virginia landscape, defined by the winding presence of the South Fork Fishing Creek. It lies 23.5 miles northwest of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 318°T), and is situated 13.9 miles southeast of New Martinsville. This waterway carves a slow, deliberate path through the earth, drawing moisture into the soil and encouraging the dense, deep-rooted hardwoods that define the local horizon. The air here holds a distinct weight, often heavy with the scent of damp loam and the cool, shadowed breath of the forest that encroaches upon the backyards of the residents. At the edges of the settlement, Lantz Farm and Nature Preserve offers a quiet expanse of protected land, preserving the natural character of the terrain where the light shifts from gold to a bruised purple as the sun slips behind the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains.
Jacksonburg carries the quiet gravity of a place that has long watched the rhythms of industry and extraction pass through its borders. The local economy has shifted away from the intensive labor of earlier decades, leaving behind a stillness that allows the sounds of the South Fork Fishing Creek to become the primary pulse of the day. A few miles away, the gentle depression of Miller Hollow serves as a reminder of how the land dictates the movement of people and the placement of roads, forcing a slower pace upon anyone traveling through the region. While the grander, more industrial echoes of the past have faded, the people here maintain a steady, private resilience, finding a modest beauty in the way the seasons color the canopy and in the enduring, unpretentious patterns of life that persist in the hollows.

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.
