Explore Abingdon, 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 Abingdon, 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 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 Abingdon.
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.

Abingdon emerges from the landscape as a collection of limestone structures and brick facades that mirror the quiet gravity of the surrounding terrain. It lies 14.1 miles northeast of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 56°T), and is situated 14.4 miles south-southeast of Lebanon. Town Creek flows through the center of Abingdon, its path carving a subtle line through the earth that defines the rhythm of the local geography. Beyond the immediate streets, the land gives way to the gentle depression of Jordan Hollow, providing a natural sanctuary that feels removed from the reach of the distant Appalachian Mountains. Five miles to the west, South Holston Lake creates a vast, still expanse of water that reflects the shifting colors of the sky. The air here carries a crispness that suggests the solitude of the interior, far removed from any coastal influence.
Abingdon traces its origins to the early westward migrations that defined the development of the frontier. The economy has transitioned from its early agricultural foundations into a diverse modern landscape that balances regional commerce with a dedication to the arts. Throughout the years, local industries have adapted to the changing needs of the Commonwealth, moving from trade-based commerce to a more integrated professional sector. This evolution has fostered a spirit of self-reliance that remains evident in the way the local economy supports its residents. The persistence of these traditional trades alongside contemporary business ventures ensures that Abingdon maintains a stable and industrious character.
Cultural life in Abingdon finds its center at Barter Stage Ii, a landmark that underscores the town's commitment to the performing arts and public expression. The local character is defined by a deliberate pace of life, where the evening light often lingers on the historic architecture, casting long shadows across the sidewalks. Notable individuals, such as the writer Sherwood Anderson, have found inspiration in the quietude and intellectual atmosphere that permeate the region. Visitors often seek out the Maple Spring Fire Trail to experience the rugged beauty of the local landscape firsthand. These elements collectively shape an environment where the preservation of tradition and the pursuit of modern creativity exist in a balanced, steady state.

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.
