Explore Keystone, 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 Keystone, 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 Keystone.
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.

Keystone emerges from the damp, shadowed folds of the earth where the Toothman Run carves a narrow path through the limestone and shale. It lies 6.6 miles north-northwest of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 330°T), and is situated 8.5 miles north-northwest of Pleasant Valley. The light here clings to the steep slopes, filtering through dense canopies of hardwood that darken to a deep, bruised purple as the sun retreats behind the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. Moisture hangs heavy in the air, a cool breath rising from the damp earth, while the landscape remains defined by the relentless gravity of the hollows and the jagged geometry of the hills. A short journey away, the stillness of Green Lakes provides a rare, glassy reflection of the sky, offering a quiet counterpoint to the hurried, downward rush of the local waterways that define the movement of the terrain.
Keystone bears the indelible mark of an era built upon the extraction of dark, subterranean veins, a history that lingers in the weathered brick of storefronts and the quiet, deliberate pace of those who remain. The local economy, once dictated by the feverish rhythm of the tipple and the rail, has softened into a persistent, lingering endurance that echoes the legacy of coal-camp life. Residents find respite in the nearby Grant Town Park, a green sanctuary that offers a reprieve from the stark, industrial reminders of the past. Life in Keystone moves with a gravity of its own, grounded in the memory of labor and the stubborn, quiet pride of a people whose daily existence is shaped by the rugged, unyielding character of this Appalachian landscape.

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.
