Explore New Martinsville, 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 New Martinsville, 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 New Martinsville.
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.

New Martinsville emerges from the earth where Doolin Run carves its persistent path through the landscape. It lies 29.9 miles south-southwest of Wheeling, WV (from Wheeling, WV: bearing 194°T), and is situated 5.1 miles northeast of Paden City. The surrounding terrain is defined by the heavy, ancient presence of the Appalachian Mountains, which loom ninety-one miles away as a distant, blue-gray suggestion against the horizon. Closer to home, the topography dips into the quiet shadows of Skinner Hollow, offering a stark contrast to the ridges that rise in jagged, timbered folds. Residents often find respite in the green expanse of Bruce Park, a local space that anchors the neighborhood against the broader, wilder backdrop of the region. The air here holds a particular weight at dusk, cooling rapidly as it settles into the low-lying basins of the land.
New Martinsville traces its economic pulse to the industrial currents that have long defined this part of the country. Early settlement relied on the movement of goods and resources, establishing a rhythm of labor that persists in the modern era of energy and manufacturing. While the nearby Sunfish Creek State Forest stands as a reminder of the raw, untamed timberland, the local economy has pivoted toward the extraction and processing industries that utilize the regional geography. The presence of Slurry Impoundments 3, 3a, 3b five miles away serves as a sober, utilitarian marker of the industrial history that continues to shape the daily life of the workforce. Every shift change at the plants echoes the legacy of those who first cleared the brush to build the foundations of this place.
New Martinsville carries a cultural character forged by the endurance of those who stay when the work grows difficult. The town maintains a modest, steady pace, punctuated by local gatherings at Bruce Park that bring neighbors into the open air to share the seasons. While the quietude might seem profound to an outsider, the people possess an internal intensity, a reflection of the landscape that demands resilience from its inhabitants. Notable figures like the esteemed actor Bill Laimbeer—who spent his formative years in the region—carry the quiet, determined spirit of this environment into their broader pursuits. The genuine beauty of the place remains in the way the light catches the ridges at dawn, illuminating the persistent, unyielding spirit of New Martinsville.

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.
