Explore Clintwood, 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 Clintwood, 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 Clintwood.
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.

Clintwood emerges from the rugged, folded landscape where Holly Creek carves its path through the earth, marking the terrain with the steady, patient persistence of water moving over ancient stone. It lies 41.0 miles north-northwest of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 339°T), and is situated 17.8 miles north-northeast of Norton. Sunlight catches the steep inclines of the surrounding ridges at dusk, turning the deep greens of the dense woodland into a bruised, velvet purple that settles over the valley floors. Only a few miles away, the John W. Flannagan Reservoir holds a vast, still mirror to the sky, reflecting the heavy clouds that often drift across this inland horizon. Those seeking the silence of the woods find their way toward the John W. Flannagan Recreation Area, where the air smells of damp moss and cooling soil, or they follow the ascent toward the Pine Mountain Trail to look out over the vast, complicated geography of the interior.
Clintwood carries the weight of a long industrial narrative, a place defined by the extraction of coal that once shaped the local economy and drove the pulse of daily life. The traces of this history remain visible in the architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of the people who walk the streets, their lives shaped by the cycles of the earth and the deep, silent presence of the Appalachian Mountains visible far to the east. Near the shadows of Cherrytree Hollow, the echoes of former mining booms linger in the quiet, though the modern rhythm of the locality now turns toward different prospects and a slower, more introspective existence. Life here moves with the seasons, from the sharpness of winter frost to the humid, heavy stillness of midsummer, grounding every inhabitant in the physical reality of a land that has seen both the intensity of labor and the enduring calm of the wilderness.

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.
