How to Use This Ravenswood, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Ravenswood emerges from the flat, fertile earth where the steady currents of Sandy Creek draw a quiet border against the surrounding landscape. It lies 24.5 miles south-southwest of Parkersburg, WV (from Parkersburg, WV: bearing 206°T), and is situated 9.3 miles north-northwest of Ripley. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that settles over the low-lying plains, while the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains wait on the horizon like a dream of higher ground. Sunlight at dusk catches the surface of Ritchies Pond, turning the water into a sheet of polished copper before the shadows of the surrounding timber deepen into a rich, velvet charcoal. Residents often gather in the open, green spaces of Veterans Park, finding a reprieve from the heat in the shade of oaks that have weathered generations of changing seasons. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the land folds into the sheltered quiet of Sugarcamp Hollow, where the soil remains cool and damp even through the height of the summer.

Ravenswood bears the weight of a history rooted in the industrial pulse of the Ohio Valley, where the rhythmic clatter of manufacturing once defined the daily labor of its people. The local economy has long leaned into this capacity for production, balancing the persistence of modern industrial enterprise with the slow, deliberate pace of a place that values its own independence. Life in Ravenswood moves with the steady, predictable cadence of a clock, undisturbed by the frantic energy of larger urban centers. While the Riverview Trail offers a distant connection to the wider region for those seeking the path, most prefer the uncomplicated familiarity of local streets and the steady hum of a working life. The atmosphere is marked by a quiet tenacity, a sense of belonging to a landscape that asks little but provides a solid, enduring foundation for those who call it home.
