Explore North Tazewell, 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 North Tazewell, 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 North Tazewell.
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.

North Tazewell emerges from the limestone-heavy earth where the Clinch River carves a deliberate, winding path through the rugged terrain of the interior highlands. It lies 52.1 miles northeast of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 44°T), and is situated 1.3 miles north-northwest of Tazewell. The landscape surrounding North Tazewell consists of steep, verdant slopes that rise sharply against the horizon, though the distant, shadowed silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains remain sixty-two miles to the south, serving only as a hazy boundary to the world beyond. Sunlight here possesses a distinct, heavy clarity, often lingering in the deep hollows of the landscape long after the upper ridges have surrendered to the encroaching violet of dusk. A short distance away, the quiet grounds of Lincolnshire Park offer a respite of meadow and managed wood, providing a contrast to the dense, geological complexity of the nearby Witten Valley.
Historical echoes in North Tazewell remain tied to the extraction of deep-earth resources, a legacy that once fueled the regional economy and defined the persistent, industrious character of those who settled these narrow corridors. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely faded, the influence of coal and timber continues to leave its mark upon the local temperament, favoring a deliberate, measured pace of life over the rapid churn of the outside world. The proximity of the Bishop Prep Plant Slurry Impoundment serves as a quiet reminder of the industrial weight this land has carried for generations, a silent partner to the flowing waters of the Clinch River. Life in North Tazewell moves with the reliable predictability of the seasons, where the cool, damp air of the valley floor keeps the mornings crisp and the autumns long, grounding the residents in a place that measures time by the turning of the leaves and the steady persistence of the landscape.

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.
