How to Use This Mason, West Virginia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mason, 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 Mason.

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.

Mason holds a quiet vigil over the broad, silty sweep of the Ohio River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate purpose toward the horizon. It lies 30.2 miles southwest of Parkersburg, WV (from Parkersburg, WV: bearing 236°T), and is situated 7.3 miles southwest of Chester. The land rises from the riverbank into a landscape of dense, verdant woodland, where the shadows of the distant Appalachian Mountains seem to linger in the humid air of late afternoon. A mile inward, the terrain folds into the secluded stillness of Loudermilk Hollow, while the quiet surface of Blue Goose Pond sits tucked away in the thicket, reflecting the pale gray sky. Within the center of the grid, Mason City Park offers a modest expanse of green, a place where the grass grows thick and the light at dusk turns a bruised, singular gold, settling low against the trunks of oaks and maples.

Industry once defined the pulse of the earth here, drawing from the deep, coal-rich veins that shaped the fortunes of many who settled these ridges. The economy of Mason has shifted over the decades, moving away from the clamor of extraction toward a slower, more tempered existence that values the endurance of its people. One can hear the faint, rhythmic vibration of the river traffic against the stillness of the afternoon, a reminder of the steady trade that has long connected the region to the wider world. Life in Mason moves with the unforced cadence of the seasons, marked by the turning of leaves and the persistent, quiet labor of those who remain, finding a distinct, humble pride in the permanence of the soil and the enduring flow of the water.

About This Mason Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mason, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.021745, -82.02903. 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 Mason includes the ZIP code (25260), telephone area code (304), county seat of Mason County (Point Pleasant), and school district assignment (Mason 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.
