Explore Winfield, 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 Winfield, 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 Winfield.
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.

Winfield occupies a quiet bend of the landscape where the Reuben Run carves a modest path through the earth, marking the land with its steady, unadorned transit. It lies 3.3 miles east of Fairmont, WV (from Fairmont, WV: bearing 96°T), and is situated 3.6 miles east-northeast of Pleasant Valley. The surrounding terrain rises in slow, deliberate swells of heavy clay and dark loam, supporting thick stands of hardwood that catch the low, slanted light of late afternoon. High above the valley floor, the air holds a cool, damp weight, smelling of wet stone and decaying leaves that gather in the shadows of the deeper ravines. While the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains wait on the horizon like a dream of high ground, the immediate world here is one of intimate, grounded earthiness, where the gray sky seems to press down softly against the tree lines of the nearby woods.
Winfield serves as a waypoint of civic continuity, its character shaped by a history of river-adjacent settlement and the slow, persistent labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for homesteads. The local economy persists in a quiet mode, moving with the measured gait of people who recognize the value of steady output over the sudden, hollow booms of industry. Residents often seek the open spaces of Norwood Park to find a moment of stillness, or they look toward the small, quiet waters of Barrackville Number 41 Lake when the heat of midsummer settles over the fields. Life here is defined by the rhythm of the school calendar and the seasonal chores of maintaining property that has often been held by the same families for generations, a legacy that remains visible in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture lining the local roads.

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.
