Explore Mineralwells, 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 Mineralwells, 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 Mineralwells.
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.

Mineralwells occupies a quiet sprawl of land where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of clay and timber. It lies 6.5 miles south-southeast of Parkersburg, WV (from Parkersburg, WV: bearing 156°T), and is situated 7.2 miles south-southeast of Belpre. The horizon remains dominated by the distant, hazy blue of the Appalachian Mountains, casting a heavy, ancient stillness over the local topography. Nearby, the banks of Little Tygart Creek cut a narrow, winding path through the brush, while the terrain dips into the shadowed, cool depths of Wildcat Hollow. Sunlight here takes on a particular, amber quality during the late afternoon, filtering through the thickets to illuminate the fine, suspended dust that dances above the gravel roads. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Smith Lakes provide a reflective surface that mirrors the shifting, iron-gray clouds of the coming evening.
Mineralwells persists as a junction of memory and modest industry, holding fast to the quiet gravity of a region shaped by generations of labor. Beyond the residential lanes, the land retains the quietude of a place that values the slow turning of the seasons over the frantic pace of the outside world. Residents often find their way to Southwood Park, where the manicured green spaces offer a reprieve from the dense, unyielding growth of the surrounding woods. Economic life in Mineralwells operates with a steady, pragmatic pulse, far removed from the bustle of the industrial centers that once defined the state’s broader history. Life here is defined by the resilience of the soil and the persistent, quiet endurance of those who walk its paths, observing the slow transformation of the landscape as the light fades into the woods toward the Marietyta Unit Office - Athens Ranger 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.
