How to Use This Madison, West Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Madison, 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 Madison.
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.

ZIP code: 25130.Madison maintains a quiet presence where the Little Coal River bends through a landscape of steep, wooded slopes and deep, shadowed hollows. It lies 21.6 miles south of St. Albans, WV (from St. Albans, WV: bearing 180°T), and is situated 22.0 miles south-southwest of Charleston. The morning light here often lingers in the low-lying basins, illuminating the persistent green of the Appalachian hardwood canopy that defines the horizon. Residents find a familiar rhythm in the local air, which carries the scent of damp earth and the cool, steady breath of the surrounding timberland. Madison City Park offers a modest expanse of open ground, providing a central place for the quiet observation of the seasons as they turn across the valley floor.
Black Hog Hollow remains a silent witness to the generations of labor that shaped the identity of Madison, a place where the extraction of coal once dictated the pulse of every household. While the machinery of the industry has grown quiet in many corners, the legacy of that work persists in the resilient character of the people and the rugged, unadorned architecture of the streets. The local economy now turns on a different pivot, drawing its strength from a mix of service and trade that honors the hard-won independence of those who stayed. Far from the reach of the distant Appalachian Mountains, the people here move with a deliberate pace, finding a steady, grounded beauty in the persistence of the river and the enduring character of their home.

About This Madison Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Madison, West Virginia. Coordinates: 38.064192, -81.794917. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Madison includes the ZIP code (25130), telephone area code (304), county seat of Boone County (Madison), and school district assignment (Boone County School District).
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.
