How to Use This Moorefield, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Moorefield rises from the valley floor where the South Fork South Branch Potomac River carves a deliberate path through the earth, marking the land with a silver, winding permanence. It lies 60.3 miles west-southwest of Martinsburg, WV (from Martinsburg, WV: bearing 243°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east-northeast of Petersburg. The surrounding terrain is defined by low-lying fields and the dense, quiet shadows cast by the nearby Sulphur Spring Hollow, where the air holds a persistent, cool stillness even at midday. On the distant horizon, the jagged silhouettes of the Allegheny Mountains offer a stark contrast to the immediate, fertile expanse of the basin, their darkened peaks catching the final, bruised light of dusk as the temperature drops. The landscape feels held in a state of suspended gravity, where the heavy, humid atmosphere of summer gives way to the sharp, clear clarity of autumn, grounding Moorefield in a cycle of seasonal patience.

Agriculture dictates the tempo of life here, with the local economy rooted firmly in poultry production and the steady maintenance of sprawling, productive acreage. Moorefield maintains a quiet dignity born of long-standing labor, reflecting a history where the land was cleared and worked by families who measured their existence by the harvest and the river’s height. Residents find a brief respite at Moorefield Town Park, a green expanse that serves as a communal anchor, while those seeking deeper solitude often travel toward the quiet waters of Rockcliff Lake. Life in Moorefield is not dictated by the frantic pace of larger centers, but by the predictable, rhythmic demands of the soil and the enduring, quiet influence of the river that sustains the valley’s lifeblood.

About This Moorefield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Moorefield, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.06233, -78.969472. 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 Moorefield includes the ZIP code (26836), telephone area code (304), county seat of Hardy County (Moorefield), and school district assignment (Hardy 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.
