Module:Location map/data/West Virginia is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of West Virginia. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "West Virginia":

{{Location map|West Virginia |...}}
{{Location map many|West Virginia |...}}
{{Location map+|West Virginia |...}}
{{Location map~|West Virginia |...}}

Map definition

name = West Virginia
Name used in the default map caption

image = USA West Virginia location map.svg
The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = USA West Virginia relief location map.svg
