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

ZIP code: 24954.Marlinton occupies a narrow shelf of land where the Greenbrier River carves a deliberate path through the landscape, defining the rhythm of the valley. It lies 67.0 miles east-northeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 62°T), and is situated 30.2 miles north of Covington. The air here holds a distinct coolness, drawn down from the Appalachian Mountains that stand as a distant, jagged silhouette against the horizon. Below the town, the earth dips into the basin of Kee Hollow, while the surrounding terrain is marked by the quiet, persistent growth of the Appalachian hardwood forests. Only three miles away, the waters of Spruce Flats offer a still contrast to the moving river, and those who walk the Buckeye Trail find the ground underfoot composed of the same ancient, weathered stone that characterizes the region.
Marlinton emerged from the rugged persistence of those who navigated these interior highlands, eventually finding a stable economy in the timber and rail industries that once defined the local labor. Today, the pace of life centers around the quiet utility of the Community Wellness Center, which serves as a focal point for residents amidst the shifting seasons. The influence of the timber trade remains visible in the architecture of the older streets, though the modern economy has transitioned toward a quieter, more deliberate existence. Eleven miles of travel toward the deeper woods brings one to the borders of Seneca State Forest, a reminder of the vast, unyielding wilderness that once dictated the survival of every early inhabitant.

About This Marlinton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Marlinton, West Virginia. Coordinates: 38.223453, -80.09451. 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 Marlinton includes the ZIP code (24954), telephone area code (304), county seat of Pocahontas County (Marlinton), and school district assignment (Pocahontas 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.
