Explore Austinville, 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 Austinville, 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 Austinville.
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.

Austinville occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the deliberate, steady movement of the Buddle Branch as it carves through the earth. It lies 26.8 miles southwest of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 224°T), and is situated 15.4 miles south-southwest of Pulaski. Deep shadows pool within the nearby Chiswell Hole, a basin where the air holds a cool, heavy stillness even when the afternoon sun warms the surrounding fields. While the distant Appalachian Mountains frame the horizon in a hazy, blue-gray silhouette, the immediate landscape remains grounded in the quiet cycle of seasonal growth and the slow decay of autumn leaves. Light here possesses a peculiar, amber quality at dusk, catching the dust motes and tall grasses in a way that makes the transition from day to night feel like a physical weight settling over the terrain.
Austinville bears the marks of a long industrial heritage, having once served as a vital center for lead mining that drew men into the earth to extract the veins of ore beneath the soil. This legacy of extraction has since faded, leaving behind a landscape that has been reclaimed by the New River Trail State Park, where the old transit lines now offer a quiet path for those moving through the woods. The economy has shifted from the intensity of the mines to a quieter, more observant pace, though the memory of those subterranean efforts remains part of the local character. Those who wander far enough might find themselves toward the Cliff Branch Trail or reflecting by the waters of Kennedys Lake, where the silence is interrupted only by the rustle of wind through the trees or the sudden flight of a bird rising from the underbrush.

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.
