Explore Cartersville, 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 Cartersville, 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 Cartersville.
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.

Cartersville marks the transition where the quiet, deliberate pace of the interior Piedmont meets the persistent, moving edge of the James River. It lies 22.2 miles southeast of Lake Monticello, VA (from Lake Monticello, VA: bearing 143°T), and is situated 32.8 miles southeast of Charlottesville. The land here unfolds in heavy, clay-rich swells that bear the weight of centuries, rising gradually toward the distant, hazy blue contour of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western horizon. Sunlight filters through the canopy in long, amber shafts, illuminating the fine dust that rises from the unpaved lanes and the deep, verdant thickets of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain shifts into a landscape of dense, managed timber and open fields, maintaining a stillness that feels untouched by the frantic acceleration of the modern world.
Cartersville retains the quiet gravity of a place defined by its long relationship with the soil and the water that once fueled its commerce. While modern life moves through the region with a different urgency, the echoes of the old tobacco economy remain embedded in the architecture of the older houses and the layout of the land. Residents find their recreation in the nearby Cumberland State Forest, a vast expanse of protected wilderness that offers a stark, rugged counterpoint to the orderly rows of agricultural plots. Those who follow the path of the James River Batteau Festival Trail often pause here, tracing the same currents that once carried goods toward the inland markets, finding in the quietude a sense of continuity that connects the present-day traveler to the deeper, slower rhythms of the Virginia interior.

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.
