Explore Cedar Bluff, 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 Cedar Bluff, 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 Cedar Bluff.
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.

Cedar Bluff occupies a distinct portion of the landscape where the Bear Branch carves a quiet path through the limestone strata and verdant earth. It lies 18.4 miles east of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 81°T), and is situated 8.3 miles southeast of Abingdon. The air here holds a heavy, damp clarity, often settling into the low basin of Grant Hollow where the sunlight turns a bruised, autumnal gold in the late afternoon. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains frame the horizon, suggesting a vastness that contrasts with the intimate, winding course of the local water. Residents move through a topography defined by these ancient shifts in the ground, where the proximity to the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area ensures that the wilder, wooded character of the region remains a constant, looming neighbor.
Economic life in Cedar Bluff has long been shaped by the stubborn resilience of the terrain, moving from the extractive rhythms of earlier industrial eras toward a modern, slower pulse of commerce. The presence of South Holston Lake nearby exerts a cooling influence on the summer heat, providing a focal point for those who seek the stillness of deep, inland waters. History is not merely a record here but a tangible weight found in the old foundations and the slow reclamation of the land by hardy, native flora. Those who venture out find the Maple Spring Fire Trail offers a rigorous perspective on the scale of the woods, while the occasional distant roar of Gentry Creek Falls reminds the traveler that the geology of Cedar Bluff is defined by the persistent, unyielding movement of water through stone.

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.
