How to Use This Mouth of Wilson, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mouth of Wilson, 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 Mouth of Wilson.
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 Mouth of Wilson, Virginia

Mouth of Wilson is located at 36.5896°N, 81.3365°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 24363.Mouth of Wilson emerges from the high, verdant topography where the currents of Wilson Creek carve a path through the earth, defining the very signature of the landscape. It lies 47.3 miles east of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 90°T), and is situated 19.6 miles south-southeast of Marion. The horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, while the terrain closer at hand is characterized by the soft, folding geometry of the land as it descends toward Jacks Bottom. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the late afternoon light in a way that turns the fields into a palette of burnished bronze and deep, shadowed emerald. Only a mile away, the South Fork of the New River State Natural and Scenic River preserves the riparian wildness that has long sustained the vitality of the region.
Mouth of Wilson carries the quiet weight of generations who have worked the soil and navigated the waterways that define this interior geography. The local economy has remained tethered to the land, rooted in agricultural traditions and the steady, unpretentious commerce of those who live far from the restless energy of the coastal plains. Residents look toward the nearby Bearpen Trail for recreation, moving with a pace that respects the seasonal shifts of the woodland rather than the demands of a clock. While Hampton Lake lies ten miles distant, the life of the locality remains centered on the immediate, tangible features of the valley, where the history of the place is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring, quiet consistency of the surrounding pastures and timbered slopes.

About This Mouth of Wilson Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.589568, -81.336489. 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 Mouth of Wilson includes the ZIP code (24363), telephone area code (276), county seat of Grayson County (Independence), 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.
