How to Use This Mallow, Virginia Map

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

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 Mallow, Virginia

Mallow is a locality in Alleghany County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 671. The population density is 391.9 people per km². Mallow is located at 37.7710°N, 79.9726°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 24426.

Mallow occupies a narrow, quiet corridor where the Jackson River carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain of the interior. It lies 29.7 miles north of Hollins, VA (from Hollins, VA: bearing 357°T), and is situated 1.9 miles southeast of Covington. The landscape is defined by the steep, shadowed contours of the land, which rise toward the distant Appalachian Mountains that silhouette the horizon in shades of bruised plum and slate gray. Only a mile away, the George Washington National Forest and the James River Ranger District extend their vast, timbered reaches, providing a deep, resinous scent of pine and damp earth that follows the breeze into the lowlands. The afternoon light here has a way of lingering, catching the jagged edges of the local topography and turning the thickets of oak and hickory into a patchwork of gold and deep umber before the sun slips behind the western ridges.

Mallow persists as a place of quiet industry, rooted in a history of timber and the slow, deliberate work of the inland woods. Life here maintains a cadence dictated by the seasons and the proximity of the surrounding wilderness, far removed from the frantic pace of the coast. Residents look toward Ford Hollow for the rhythms of the earth, or toward the water, where the Jackson River remains a constant, moving presence through the daily routine. While Lake Moomaw lies eleven miles out, acting as a basin for recreation and reflection, the people of Mallow find their identity in the rugged, forested solitude of their immediate surroundings. It is a location where the silence of the woods is punctuated only by the turning of a truck’s engine or the seasonal shift of the canopy, a life measured by the steady, unyielding expansion of the trees.
