Explore Kimberly, 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 Kimberly, 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 Kimberly.
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.

Kimberly emerges from the shadowed floor of a narrow lowland, defined by the persistent, cold slide of the Right Branch Miracle Run as it carves through the earth. It lies 16.4 miles north-northwest of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 332°T), and is situated 18.3 miles west-northwest of Morgantown. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, carrying the scent of damp shale and decaying leaves that collect in the depths of Stiles Hollow nearby. Sunlight struggles to reach the valley bottom, filtering through a dense canopy of hardwoods that cling to the steep, rising embankments. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic gray, sharpening the edges of the jagged landscape and emphasizing the quiet isolation of the terrain. While the distant Appalachian Mountains remain a faint, hazy suggestion on the far horizon, Kimberly exists within a tighter, more intimate geography where the land itself dictates the pace of movement.
History in Kimberly remains anchored to the deep, silent seams of coal that once drew generations of men into the dark earth, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that persists in the weathered facades of the older structures. The local economy has shifted away from the frantic industry of the past, leaving a quietude that defines the daily rhythm of those who remain. Residents often look toward the Gilmore Township Park for a sense of open space, finding a stark contrast to the claustrophobic beauty of the surrounding ravines. Even when travelers venture toward the Consol Number Nine Water Supply Lake, they do so with the understanding that the true character of Kimberly is found in the stillness of the hollows, where the memory of heavy machinery has long since been replaced by the steady, unceasing flow of the water against the stones.

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.
