You might have to actually buy a book of West Virginia plants. (Or check a local library.)
But you could start with this list at Wikipedia.
Category:Flora of West Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most of the links will probably have photos (I hope!).
Are the leaves you collected from trees and shrubs? Or more from herbs (non woody plants that grow close to the ground)?
The search term you want is "flora" which means all the plants that grow in an area, so "West Virginia flora" or "Flora of West Virginia"
If you mostly have trees and shrubs, try "Trees of West Virginia" and then select "images" at Google. Or "shrubs of West Virginia"
Any grasses?
Also, some of your plants may not be native to West Virginia. They might be discussed somewhere as "introduced" or "exotics."
PS. Watch out for poison ivy!
Thanks this helps a lot :) don't worry I collected the leaves a couple days ago and I'm pretty sure their not poison ivy cause I haven't been iching
