How to Use This Pleasant Valley, West Virginia Map

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

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 Pleasant Valley, West Virginia

Pleasant Valley is a locality in Marshall County, West Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,498. The population density is 418.0 people per km². Pleasant Valley is located at 39.4530°N, 80.1554°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Pleasant Valley is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 26444, 26554.

Pleasant Valley rises from the deep, pleated landscape of the Ohio River valley, where the earth folds into long, wooded ridges and narrow, shaded depressions. It lies 11.3 miles south-southeast of Wheeling, WV (from Wheeling, WV: bearing 154°T), and is situated 6.2 miles east of Moundsville. The terrain here is defined by the steady, persistent carve of water, most notably the gentle progression of Gosney Run as it threads through the local topography. Beyond the immediate tree lines, the horizon reveals the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, a reminder of the vast, rugged spine that dictates the climate and the quiet, persistent stillness of the afternoons. The air often carries the scent of damp loam and cooling stone, particularly as the low, amber light of late autumn clings to the slopes of nearby Wards Hollow.

Pleasant Valley maintains a character shaped by the industrious, hard-wrought legacy of the interior highlands, where the rhythms of the day remain tied to the land’s stubborn, geological endurance. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive labor of the past, the influence of the region's extraction history lingers in the architecture of the older homes and the resilience of the local people. Residents often seek the quietude of Burches Run Wildlife Management Area, an expanse of protected timber and brush that offers a reprieve from the modern pace. Even as the decades turn, the influence of the nearby Sunfish Creek State Forest preserves a sense of enclosure and privacy, ensuring that the daily life of Pleasant Valley remains anchored to the slow, deliberate pulse of the woods and the persistent, quiet flow of the local creeks.

About This Pleasant Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasant Valley, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.453046, -80.155369. 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 Pleasant Valley includes the ZIP code (26444, 26554), telephone area code (304), county seat of Marshall County (Moundsville), and school district assignment (Marion 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.
