Explore Weldon, North Carolina, 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 Weldon, 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 Weldon.
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.

Weldon commands the landscape where the piedmont gives way to the coastal plain, anchored firmly by the powerful, steady presence of the Roanoke River. It lies 4.0 miles southeast of Roanoke Rapids, NC (from Roanoke Rapids, NC: bearing 126°T), and is situated 5.9 miles east-southeast of South Rosemary. This inland expanse is defined by the earth’s subtle shifts in elevation, creating a terrain that slopes toward the water’s edge with a quiet, persistent gravity. At Town of Weldon - River Falls Park, the vegetation grows dense and lush, fed by the constant, rhythmic churn of the river as it moves past the rocky outcrops. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, amber depth, catching the silt in the water and casting long, flickering shadows against the trees that line the banks. A few miles to the west, the surface of Pearces Pond remains largely undisturbed, reflecting the gray sky and the heavy, humid air that often settles over the region during the heat of the afternoon.
Weldon carries the weight of a history built upon the movement of goods and the labor of those who recognized the utility of the Roanoke River for transportation and industry. Long before the modern era, the fall line determined the economic pulse of the region, drawing workers to the mills and rail lines that once dictated the pace of daily existence. While the industrial fervor has evolved, the legacy of this work remains in the sturdy, brick-fronted architecture that defines the central streets, standing as a quiet record of an era when the town served as a vital junction. Today, the economy leans into a slower, more deliberate rhythm, where the influence of the surrounding agricultural lands informs the local character and the shared, courteous habits of its people. Life in Weldon moves with the seasonal changes of the harvest and the persistent, unceasing flow of the river, which continues to shape the identity of the place as surely as it carved the land.

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.
