Explore Quinwood, 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 Quinwood, 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 Quinwood.
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.

Quinwood occupies a persistent, narrow reach of land where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant horizon. It lies 32.6 miles northeast of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 54°T), and is situated 17.4 miles south-southeast of Summersville. Meadow Creek winds through the low ground, its dark, persistent current carving a path through the dense Appalachian hardwood forest that defines the surrounding terrain. Light here possesses a heavy, amber quality in the late afternoon, catching the silvered bark of poplar trees and illuminating the mist that rises from the damp floor of the hollows. Five miles away, the open expanse of Shillings Flat offers a brief, grassy respite from the dense, vertical complexity of the woods. Within the immediate footprint of the landscape, Quinwood Recreation Area provides a quiet space for the community to gather, its perimeter defined by the quiet tenacity of mountain vegetation that reclaims any patch of ground left untended.
Economic rhythms in Quinwood remain tethered to the deep, silent history of the coal seams that once dictated the pulse of every household. Where the rail lines once hummed with the weight of raw mineral wealth, the present era moves with a measured, deliberate gravity, favoring the steady work of those who remember the labor of the past. The legacy of the coal camps lingers in the architecture of the older streets, where weathered frame structures stand as witnesses to a period of intense, industrial industry. While the bustle of the mines has retreated into memory, the spirit of the place remains fixed upon the rugged, self-reliant character of the people who persist in these hills. Life here proceeds without the frantic velocity of larger centers, allowing the seasonal cycles of the woodland to dictate the pace of the day, from the first frost on the ridges to the long, quiet shadows cast by the Appalachian Mountains far to the east.

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.
