How to Use This Scarbro, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Scarbro occupies a rugged crease in the earth where the steady, dark pulse of White Oak Creek cuts through the dense woodland. It lies 12.2 miles north of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 6°T), and is situated 1.6 miles southwest of Oak Hill. The landscape here is defined by deep, shadowed inclines that hold the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. To the west, the quiet waters of Plum Orchard Lake mirror the heavy canopy of the forest, while the jagged silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains loom distantly, a blue-gray edge against the sky. A mile from the center, the quiet clearings of Collins Park offer a stillness that feels heavy with the weight of the surrounding timber, grounding Scarbro in a terrain that demands both patience and respect from those who traverse its slopes.

Scarbro carries the indelible mark of the coal industry, a legacy etched into the very bones of the landscape and the rhythm of its daily life. The economy, once dictated by the frantic pace of the mines, has softened into a slower, more deliberate existence that lingers in the quietude of Sweetwood Hollow. Every structure and path seems to hold a memory of the men who labored in the dark, their persistence still vibrating in the stubborn independence of the local character. Despite the shifting tides of commerce, there remains a profound, quiet pride in the persistence of the people, who continue to shape their lives around the enduring presence of the timber and the creek, finding a singular beauty in the way the twilight deepens the color of the valley floor.
