How to Use This Parcoal, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Parcoal rises from the damp, shaded earth where the Elk River carves a deliberate path through the thick Appalachian hardwood canopy. It lies 56.8 miles south of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 182°T), and is situated 18.4 miles north-northeast of Richwood. The air here holds a heavy, silvered quality at dusk, dampening the sound of wind as it moves across the jagged rises that define the horizon. Within this landscape, the terrain shifts abruptly from the low, sun-starved floor of Ash Beetree Hollow to the higher, windswept ridges that hold the chill of the coming night. A traveler might discern the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, which stand as a silent, blue-gray boundary against the sky, while the local topography remains defined by the persistent, winding current of the Elk River.

Parcoal carries the weight of a long-standing industrial heritage, its character forged by the labor of those who once sought the dark veins of coal buried deep within the surrounding slopes. The economy, once tethered to these subterranean riches, now finds its rhythm in the quiet persistence of the woods and the nearby preservation of the Salt Sulphur Well & Veterans Memorial. Residents maintain a private, grounded existence, often turning their attention toward the rugged Turkey Mountain Trail for a sense of perspective or venturing toward the stillness of Ceasar Lake when the season allows. Life in Parcoal moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, reflecting the resilience of a people who remain anchored to the land, even as the echoes of the old mining camps fade into the encroaching forest.
