How to Use This Highland, Virginia Map

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

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.

About Highland, Virginia

Highland is a locality in Pulaski County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Highland is located at 37.1648°N, 80.6787°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 24084, 24465.

Highland reveals itself through the persistent, low-slung murmur of the Shuffle Branch as it carves a path through the quiet earth. It lies 6.1 miles west-northwest of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 292°T), and is situated 9.8 miles northeast of Pulaski. The landscape defines itself by the rigid, distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which stand twenty-five miles away as a gray, atmospheric boundary against the changing sky. Between these elevations, the terrain drops into the quietude of Back Hollow, where the shadows grow long and cool well before the sun actually dips below the horizon. The air here holds a thin, sharp clarity, particularly in the autumn when the light turns brittle and gold, illuminating the dense woodland that blankets the ridges and spills down into the fertile, inland soil.

Highland maintains an economy rooted in the deliberate, seasonal cycles of the land, reflecting a heritage built on persistence and a steady, agrarian pace. Residents often gather at Lions Club Park to mark the passing of the year, a space that serves as a quiet anchor for the community amidst the sprawling timber and pasture. The proximity of Claytor Lake provides a singular, still expanse of water that anchors the regional geography, offering a counterpoint to the movement of the local streams. Life in Highland moves with the caution of a place that values its isolation, where the weight of memory is not a burden but a quiet, constant companion to the modern work of maintaining fences and tending to the quiet commerce of the interior.
