Explore Narrows, 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 Narrows, 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 Narrows.
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.

Narrows claims its ground where the persistent currents of Wolf Creek carve a path through the earth, marking the intersection of rugged terrain and quiet passage. It lies 18.9 miles northwest of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 317°T), and is situated 4.2 miles west of Pearisburg. The air here holds a crisp, filtered clarity, particularly in the mornings when the light catches the limestone ridges that frame the horizon, hinting at the distant, imposing presence of the Appalachian Mountains. Residents often gather at Duck Pond Park, where the stillness of the water provides a mirror for the changing leaves, a small sanctuary defined by its proximity to the flowing creek. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into the quiet seclusion of Manuel Hollow, offering a topography that feels both ancient and indifferent to the haste of the modern world.
Industry in Narrows has long been tethered to the rhythm of the water and the resources pulled from the deep strata of the ground, shaping an economy that values endurance over flash. The legacy of mill work and extraction remains visible in the architecture of the older streets, where brick facades reflect a period of focused, laborious growth. Those who venture further afield might seek the spray of Wylie Falls or the steady tread of the Ripple Trail, finding in these spaces a necessary pause from the workaday cycle. Even Narrows Reservoir, sitting quietly a short distance away, serves as a reminder that the character of this place is dictated by the collection and movement of its inland waters, grounding the people in a geography that demands respect for the land’s own deliberate pace.

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.
