Explore Newburg, 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 Newburg, 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 Newburg.
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.

Newburg emerges from the steep, verdant incline where the Raccoon Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth. It lies 16.8 miles east-southeast of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 113°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-northeast of Grafton. The landscape is defined by the heavy, humid weight of dense hardwood stands and the sharp, sudden rises of terrain that define the inland topography. Light filters through the canopy in muted shades of moss and slate, casting long shadows across the uneven ground of Newburg Town Park, where the silence is broken only by the rhythmic, cold flow of the creek. Beyond the immediate clearing, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, standing as a weathered boundary against the sky.
Coal dust and the remnants of industrial ambition remain etched into the social character of Newburg, a place built upon the labor of those who once sought fortune in the deep, dark veins of the earth. The economy here has shifted away from the frantic pace of the mines, leaving behind a stillness that feels like a long, deliberate exhale. Residents move with the caution of people who understand the volatility of the ground beneath them, maintaining a quiet independence that honors the legacy of their ancestors. Life follows the slow turning of the seasons, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, finding its own cadence in the quietude of the surrounding woods and the steady, unyielding course of the water.

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.
