How to Use This Piney View, West Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Piney View, 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 Piney View.
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.

About Piney View, West Virginia
Piney View is a locality in Raleigh County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 902. The population density is 86.0 people per km². Piney View is located at 37.8362°N, 81.1348°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 25801, 25906.Piney View holds the morning light in a thin, pale suspension that catches the dew on the high-reaching hardwoods before the sun fully clears the ridges. It lies 5.0 miles northeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 36°T), and is situated 9.4 miles south of Oak Hill. The terrain here is defined by the sharp drop of McCreery Hollow and the quiet, persistent flow of Batoff Creek, which slices through the landscape just a mile away. Piney View sits upon a plateau that feels lifted above the low-hanging mists, where the air stays crisp and carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-shadowed border to the horizon, the immediate surroundings are a dense, vertical maze of timber and limestone that dictates the pace of every footstep.
Coal dust and the memory of deep-shaft labor once dictated the pulse of Piney View, leaving behind a quiet resilience that persists in the weathered faces of the porch-sitters and the sturdy, simple architecture of the older homes. The economy has shifted away from the heavy extraction that shaped the local geography for generations, leaving the residents to look toward the rugged proximity of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve for a different kind of sustenance. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, far removed from the synthetic noise of larger centers. While the recreational draw of the region pulls visitors toward the wilder stretches of the landscape, those who remain in Piney View find a singular satisfaction in the stillness that settles over the ridges when the work of the day is done.

About This Piney View Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Piney View, West Virginia. Coordinates: 37.836225, -81.134822. 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 Piney View includes the ZIP code (25801, 25906), telephone area code (304), county seat of Raleigh County (Beckley), and school district assignment (Raleigh 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.
