How to Use This North Hills, West Virginia Map

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

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.

North Hills emerges from the terrain as a series of quiet elevations defined by the steady, persistent carve of West Run. It lies 2.5 miles north of Morgantown, WV (from Morgantown, WV: bearing 6°T), and is situated 5.2 miles west of Cheat Lake. The landscape is a study in verticality and verdant density, where the earth rises into slopes that catch the long, golden light of late afternoon, casting shadows that stretch across the residential plots. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the far horizon, the immediate character of the land is shaped by the dense, ancient growth of the surrounding canopy. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Cheat Lake reflect the shifting colors of the sky, providing a stillness that complements the gentle, rhythmic flow of the local creek. Residents often find their way toward the green expanses of Raymond J. Lane Park, where the air holds the damp, clean scent of shale and damp soil, grounding the experience of the environment in the raw, unhurried geology of the region.

North Hills maintains a character that balances the remnants of its industrious past with the steady, measured pace of modern life. The economic pulse of the region has long been tied to the resourcefulness of its inhabitants, echoing a history built on the grit of the coal fields and the labor that once defined the surrounding hollows. In the quiet hours of the morning, one might notice the way the architecture reflects a mid-century sensibility, with homes positioned to capture the cooling drafts that move through the nearby Deep Hollow. While the influence of larger regional institutions often colors the local discourse, North Hills remains defined by its own internal rhythm, an independence forged in the quietude of high ground. It is a place where the history of the land is not merely remembered but lived in the way the morning mist clings to the trees, suggesting a continuity that persists long after the work of the day has concluded.
