How to Use This Matheny, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Matheny emerges from the deep, verdant folds of the earth where the Laurel Fork carves a deliberate path through the landscape. It lies 23.9 miles west-southwest of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 251°T), and is situated 16.0 miles north of Welch. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, catching the amber light of late afternoon as it filters through the dense canopy of hardwood trees that define the horizon. To the west, the gentle slope of Chestnut Flats rises toward the sky, while the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains stand as silent guardians over the terrain. The ground is a patchwork of shale and rich, dark soil, shadowed by the steep walls of the hollows that dictate the movement of the wind and the slow, rhythmic crawl of the seasons across Matheny.

Generations of labor in the timber and coal industries have left an indelible mark on the character of Matheny, shaping a quiet, resilient culture that persists long after the peak of the boom years. The influence of the land remains absolute, with residents finding solace in the nearby expanse of Laurel Park, a sanctuary of green that serves as a living legacy of the region's rugged beauty. While the economic pulse has shifted, the community retains a sturdy, self-reliant spirit, often gathering at the edges of the water or near the quiet roads that wind toward Horse Creek Lake. Life here proceeds with the steady, unforced pace of a clockwork mechanism, grounded in the traditions of those who cleared the timber and worked the earth long before the modern era took hold.
