How to Use This Salt Rock, West Virginia Map

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

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 Salt Rock, West Virginia

Salt Rock is a locality in Cabell County, West Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 373. The population density is 47.0 people per km². Salt Rock is located at 38.3301°N, 82.2127°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 25559.

Salt Rock anchors itself firmly within a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Guyandotte River. It lies 13.8 miles east-southeast of Huntington, WV (from Huntington, WV: bearing 119°T), and is situated 8.3 miles southeast of Pea Ridge. The terrain rises in sudden, verdant swells from the water’s edge, where the light at dusk often turns the heavy canopy of hardwoods into a deep, bruised violet. Beyond the immediate riverbanks, the topography fractures into the intricate folds of Lick Log Hollow, creating a quiet labyrinth of limestone and shale. While the distant Appalachian Mountains appear only as a faint, jagged suggestion against the horizon, the immediate earth is shaped by the relentless gravity of the ridge-and-hollow cycle, where the air holds the cool, damp weight of a thousand acres of timber.

Salt Rock carries the quiet, enduring gravity of a place built upon the labor of the earth. The local economy has long shifted away from the intensive extraction industries that once defined the region, moving toward a slower, more deliberate pace of life that centers on the rhythms of family and small-scale enterprise. Residents often travel toward West Hamlin Park to find open space, or toward the quiet, still waters of Beech Fork Lake for a respite from the daily grind. The character of the locality remains tethered to a history of self-reliance, where the legacy of the coal camps has softened into a steady, independent pride. Here, the passage of time is measured not by grand events, but by the way the seasons change the color of the hills, turning the dense foliage from the pale, tentative green of spring into the burnished, metallic shades of late autumn.
