Explore Windsor Heights, West Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Windsor Heights, 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 Windsor Heights.
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.

Windsor Heights occupies a narrow corridor of the Ohio Valley, defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of Short Creek as it carves through the local topography. It lies 9.3 miles north-northeast of Wheeling, WV (from Wheeling, WV: bearing 18°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northeast of Martins Ferry. The landscape here is characterized by steep, sloped inclines and dense thickets that rise abruptly from the banks of the creek, while the presence of Windsor Heights Park provides a localized green space amidst the rugged terrain. To the east, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains, creating a sense of scale that renders the immediate hollows and ridges intimate by comparison. The air often carries a damp, earthy weight, particularly as the light fails and the shadows stretch long across the broken ground, emphasizing the quiet isolation inherent to this particular geography.
Industrial ambition once dictated the pace of life in Windsor Heights, drawing workers to the coal and manufacturing operations that utilized the regional waterways to move heavy commodities. Though the roar of the early twentieth-century boom has faded, the remnants of that era persist in the layout of the streets and the architectural bones of the dwellings. Residents today look toward the wider economic landscape of the valley, occasionally casting their gaze toward the industrial utility of the Cardinal Fly Ash Retention Reservoir or the deeper, wooded solitude of Fernwood State Forest. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned tempo, shaped by the memory of the labor that built these slopes and the enduring, quiet reality of a locality that has weathered the slow transition of time.

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.
