Explore Pleasant Valley, 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 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.

Pleasant Valley occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Wheeling Creek, which carves a deliberate path through the terrain. It lies 2.1 miles east of Wheeling, WV (from Wheeling, WV: bearing 81°T), and is situated 3.0 miles southeast of Martins Ferry. The land surrounding Pleasant Valley rises in steep, verdant slopes that shoulder the weight of the sky, creating a topography of tight hollows and high, narrow ridges. Only a mile away, the quiet basin of Stackyard Hollow deepens the shadows at sunset, while the nearby Edgington Lane Patterson Overbrook offers a vantage point to watch the light turn thin and golden against the hardwoods. The air here holds the damp, cool scent of earth and shale, a reminder that the distant Appalachian Mountains exert a silent pressure on the climate, drawing down mists that cling to the valley floor long after the morning has fully arrived.
Pleasant Valley maintains a character shaped by the steady, industrious pulse of the Ohio Valley, where the remnants of earlier extraction industries have given way to a quieter, modern persistence. Life moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the hardwoods, far from the influence of any distant coast or grand maritime trade. Residents often seek the stillness of Schenk Lake, a small, reflective body of water two miles out, to mark the passage of the week. While the echoes of coal-camp memory linger in the architecture and the local temperament, the economy has shifted toward the services and trades that sustain a resilient, inland population. History in Pleasant Valley is not found in grand monuments, but in the way the land itself holds the memory of those who worked the ridges and moved the timber, leaving a legacy of self-reliance that remains visible in every porch light flickering against the approaching dusk.

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.
