How to Use This Smithfield, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Smithfield marks the convergence of steep, timbered slopes and the narrow, winding path of Price Run, which carves a persistent vein through the valley floor. It lies 19.1 miles northwest of Clarksburg, WV (from Clarksburg, WV: bearing 323°T), and is situated 18.7 miles east-southeast of New Martinsville. The landscape surrounding Smithfield is defined by the dense, persistent gravity of deep hollows and the sudden, sharp incline of ridges that shut out the wider world, creating a private theater for the passage of weather. The air here holds a particular weight, often thick with the damp scent of decaying leaves and stone, while the light at dusk settles into the low gaps with a singular, bruised violet intensity that seems to stall the very movement of the trees.

Smithfield maintains a quiet posture born from an era of extraction, where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the slow reclamation of the land by forest and the memory of labor that once defined the regional economy. Residents find a modest communal anchor in Smithfield Park, a space that serves as a necessary clearing amidst the encroaching wildness of the local topography. While the grander peaks of the Appalachian Mountains remain distant silhouettes on the far horizon, the immediate character of the place is shaped by the smaller, more intimate geography of the surrounding terrain. Life in Smithfield persists with a grounded, unassuming patience, reflecting a long-standing independence that values the stability of the soil and the quiet endurance of those who remain.

About This Smithfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smithfield, West Virginia. Coordinates: 39.499528, -80.561761. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Smithfield includes the ZIP code (26437), telephone area code (304), county seat of Wetzel County (New Martinsville), and school district assignment (Wetzel County School District).

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.
