How to Use This Point Pleasant, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Point Pleasant anchors the confluence where the Kanawha meets the steady, southward flow of the Ohio River, creating a landscape defined by wide, riparian bottomlands and the persistent presence of moving water. It lies 29.5 miles north-northwest of Teays Valley, WV (from Teays Valley, WV: bearing 338°T), and is situated 4.3 miles northeast of Gallipolis. The terrain here rises in gentle, verdant swells that eventually reach toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, though the immediate view is one of fertile fields and the dense, green fringes of timber that line the banks. Within the Point Pleasant Riverfront Park, the air often holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of rich, dark earth and the metallic tang of the riverbed. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the Ohio River, turning the water into a sheet of hammered copper that mirrors the darkening sky and the silhouettes of the trees standing silent along the shore.

History in Point Pleasant remains a tangible weight, woven into the heavy brick of its storefronts and the quiet corners where legends of the past are kept alive by those who walk the streets. The local economy has long shifted from its early reliance on frontier trade and river logistics toward a blend of light industry and a cultural identity built upon its unique folklore. Beyond the immediate streets, the topography dips into the quiet seclusion of Honey Hollow, a contrast to the flat, industrious stretches along the water. While Pond Number Nine sits in relative stillness six miles away, the life of Point Pleasant continues to orbit the river, a place where the pace of the day is marked by the slow, rhythmic passage of barges and the enduring, quiet pride of a people who have built their lives in the shadow of the hills.
