How to Use This Crockett, Virginia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Crockett, 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 Crockett.

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.

Crockett emerges from the landscape as a quiet collection of dwellings defined by the persistent, rhythmic clarity of Tate Run, which winds through the verdant floor of the valley. It lies 38.0 miles west-southwest of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 244°T), and is situated 7.3 miles southwest of Wytheville. The terrain here is shaped by a series of long, earthen swells that rise toward the distant Appalachian Mountains, their blue-gray silhouettes forming a permanent boundary against the sky. Sunlight catches the moisture in the air during the early morning, casting a pale, pearlescent glow over the fields that stretch toward the nearby Matney Flat. Those who wander the area find the land is characterized by a deep, quiet density of woodland, with the reaches of Jefferson National Forest providing a vast, emerald backdrop to the agricultural parcels that define the immediate horizon.

Crockett remains a place where the economy is tethered to the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons and the management of the earth. The influence of The Big Survey Wildlife Management Area serves to preserve the wilder character of the terrain, while the local pace is punctuated by the occasional traveler seeking the quietude of the Rocky Hollow Trail or the still, reflective surface of Rural Retreat Lake. History in this region is not written in grand monuments but in the persistent maintenance of family plots and the endurance of small-scale husbandry that has anchored the population for generations. Daily life here possesses a certain gravity, a weight earned through the long maintenance of fences and the careful observation of the sky, ensuring that Crockett retains a singular, unhurried composure despite the shifting tides of the modern world.

About This Crockett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Crockett, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.886231, -81.19204. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Crockett includes the ZIP code (24323), telephone area code (276), county seat of Wythe County (Wytheville), and school district assignment.

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.
