How to Use This Newport, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newport, 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 Newport.
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 Newport, Virginia
Newport is a locality in Giles County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,200. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Newport is located at 37.2943°N, 80.4953°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 24128.Newport sits upon the quiet, interior geography of the land where the Greenbrier Branch cuts a persistent path through the earth. It lies 6.3 miles northwest of Blacksburg, VA (from Blacksburg, VA: bearing 315°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northwest of Merrimac. The landscape around Newport is defined by the heavy, ancient presence of the Appalachian Mountains visible on the horizon, while the immediate terrain drops into the quietude of Wash Hollow. Only a mile away, the canopy of Jefferson National Forest offers a dense, protective buffer, and the nearby Poverty Creek Horse Trail winds through the undergrowth for those who traverse the woods on foot or hoof. When the light fades, the air cools rapidly in the shadow of the ridges, and the surface of Pandapas Pond, just a short distance away, turns the color of hammered lead, reflecting the stillness of a region far removed from the press of the coast.
Agriculture and the rhythms of the land have long dictated the pace of life in Newport, a place where the history of the soil is written in the surviving homesteads and the enduring local trade. While the economy has shifted with the turn of the century, the character of the locality remains tethered to the rugged terrain of the Appalachian Mountains and the resources provided by the nearby Jefferson National Forest. Residents move with a deliberate, measured grace, often venturing toward the Upper Falls to witness the force of the water against the stone, a reminder of the raw energy that persists in the wilder corners of the county. Life here is not hurried by modern clamor; instead, it is marked by the seasonal pulse of the woods and the quiet, steady persistence of those who call these inland ridges their own.

About This Newport Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newport, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.294294, -80.495333. 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 Newport includes the ZIP code (24128), telephone area code (276, 540), county seat of Giles County (Pearisburg), 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.
