How to Use This Whitesville, West Virginia Map

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

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.

Whitesville occupies a narrow, deep-set corridor where the earth rises sharply into steep, timbered slopes that define the rhythm of the day. It lies 23.0 miles northwest of Beckley, WV (from Beckley, WV: bearing 306°T), and is situated 17.0 miles east-southeast of Madison. The Big Coal River traces a deliberate path through this terrain, its waters reflecting the heavy, verdant canopy of the surrounding hardwoods that crowd the edge of the channel. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it filters through the dense foliage of the rising hills, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the valley floor as evening approaches. A mile away, the mouth of Bear Hollow opens into the landscape like a silent, shadowed seam, inviting the damp, cool air that settles over the low ground long after the heat of the afternoon has faded.

Whitesville remains defined by the persistent, industrious history of the coal industry, a legacy etched into the very configuration of the streets and the quiet resilience of its inhabitants. While the local economy has shifted from the peak extraction years, the structural imprint of the coal camps lingers in the way the buildings cling to the narrow strips of level ground. Those seeking the stillness of the outdoors often travel toward the Plum Orchard Lake Wildlife Management Area, fifteen miles away, or wander near the quiet expanse of Plum Orchard Lake itself. Life in Whitesville moves with a deliberate, singular cadence, marked by the occasional sound of a freight train and the knowledge that the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a constant, looming backdrop to the daily persistence of its people.
