Explore Clarksville, 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 Clarksville, 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 Clarksville.
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.

Clarksville sits where the patient, steady currents of Hutton Creek mark the boundary of the landscape, defining the low-lying terrain before the earth rises into the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 27.3 miles east-northeast of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 59°T), and is situated 4.6 miles west of Chilhowie. The land here holds a quiet, heavy moisture, especially as dusk settles over the fields and the air cools, drawing a pale mist from the soil that clings to the vegetation like a second skin. To the west, the topography dips into the shaded quiet of Hanger Hollow, a place where the light seems to linger longer in the evening, casting long, bruised-purple shadows against the trunks of oaks and pines. Only a mile away, the grounds of Glade Spring Rec. Park offer a respite of managed wildness, while the deeper stillness of Laurel Bed Lake waits eleven miles further out, a silent presence in the wider, inland geography.
Clarksville serves as a long-standing anchor for the surrounding agricultural expanse, its economy having pivoted from the labor-intensive legacy of tobacco fields toward a more modern, quiet commerce that respects the pace of the seasons. History here is not merely a record of the past but a weight felt in the architecture of older buildings and the stubborn persistence of local trade, which has survived the ebb and flow of regional shifts. Residents often traverse the local roads with an awareness of the Blue Grass Trail, located nine miles away, which serves as a reminder of the paths that have connected these interior reaches for generations. Life in Clarksville moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, favoring the slow accumulation of community over the frantic speed of the modern world, as if the very soil demands that everything be done with a certain degree of gravity and care.

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.
