How to Use This Coats, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Coats, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 Coats.

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.

Coats emerges from the flat, pine-dotted landscape of the North Carolina piedmont as a quiet intersection of agrarian tradition and steady, modern persistence. It lies 14.2 miles south-southeast of Fuquay Varina, NC (from Fuquay Varina, NC: bearing 149°T), and is situated 7.9 miles north-northwest of Dunn. Stewart Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil just outside the center, its dark waters providing a rhythmic, low-lying counterpoint to the expanse of open fields that characterize the surrounding territory. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Big Ridge marks the western horizon, a faint, serrated line against the sky that reminds travelers of the interior geography separating this place from the higher elevations far to the west. A short distance away, the quiet surface of Gregorys Lake catches the amber light of late afternoon, mirroring the shifting clouds in a way that makes the earth feel vast and unhurried.

Coats maintains a character forged in the legacy of the tobacco trade and the patient labor of the soil, though the local economy has since diversified to support a more varied, contemporary pace of life. Residents often gather at the Town of Coats Parks and Recreation, a space that serves as a focal point for the daily intersection of neighbors and the quiet preservation of local assembly. The influence of the past remains visible in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the older storefronts, which hold the memory of an era defined by harvest cycles and rail-side commerce. Life here moves with a deliberate, unassuming grace, tethered to the seasonal cooling of the air and the persistent, quiet growth of the surrounding woodlands that define the borders of the local landscape.

About This Coats Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Coats, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.407939, -78.671959. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Coats includes the ZIP code (27521), telephone area code (919, 984), county seat of Harnett County (Lillington), and school district assignment (Harnett County Schools).

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.
