How to Use This Montgomery, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Montgomery occupies a narrow shelf of land where the Kanawha River carves a deliberate path through the steep, compressed geography of the region. It lies 20.2 miles southeast of Charleston, WV (from Charleston, WV: bearing 125°T), and is situated 17.4 miles northwest of Oak Hill. Sunlight here struggles to reach the valley floor early in the morning, held back by the high, wooded walls of Dunn Hollow that flank the town on either side. The air carries a heavy, damp stillness, common to low-lying river corridors where the mist clings to the dark trunks of hardwood trees long after the sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate banks of the Kanawha River, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, appearing as soft, jagged ink marks against a pale sky. Within the limits of Montgomery, the terrain feels vertical and tight, a place where the architecture of the streets must yield to the uncompromising incline of the earth.

Montgomery grew from the coal-rich earth that once fueled the industrial ambition of the entire region, leaving behind a legacy of sturdy brick and iron that still anchors the main thoroughfares. The local economy, once tethered strictly to the rhythm of the mines and the transport of freight, has shifted its weight toward education and the quiet maintenance of a persistent, working-class resilience. On the edge of town, Unknown Park offers a simple expanse of quiet, untamed green that serves as a boundary between the encroaching forest and the structured grid of the streets. Life in Montgomery moves with a measured, deliberate gait, defined by the sound of train whistles echoing off the valley walls and the persistent, brown current of the Kanawha River moving relentlessly toward the Ohio. While the industry that built these foundations has changed, the character of the place remains fixed, marked by a stubborn pride and the quiet, persistent growth of ferns and moss in the damp shadows of the hollows.

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.
