Explore Pulaski, 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 Pulaski, 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 Pulaski.
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.

Pulaski anchors itself firmly within a landscape defined by the steady, persistent flow of Peak Creek as it winds through the rugged terrain. It lies 12.6 miles west-southwest of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 243°T), and is situated 6.6 miles southwest of Dublin. The regional topography remains deeply inland, separated from the nearest coastline by over two hundred miles of varied terrain that rises toward the Appalachian Mountains in the distance. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of Claytor Lake, which provides a cooling influence on the air during the warmer months of the year. Beyond the immediate municipal boundaries, the land dips into the quiet, shaded expanse of Dark Hollow, offering a stark contrast to the higher ridges that characterize the wider territory. At the center of the daily routine, Jackson Park serves as a focal point where the local rhythm of life remains tied to the changing seasons and the muted light of the afternoon sun.
Pulaski emerged from a tradition of industrious labor, growing significantly during the era when iron and coal defined the economic vitality of the region. The legacy of these heavy industries remains visible in the architecture of older buildings, which stand as functional monuments to a time when the railroad dictated the pace of commerce. Over time, the local economy transitioned from these foundational extraction industries toward a more diverse landscape of manufacturing and specialized trade. The steady hum of modern production continues to utilize the same transportation corridors that once brought wealth to the valley during the early industrial expansion. Today, the workforce navigates a balance between honoring these mechanical roots and adapting to the shifting demands of a regional market that values technical precision.
Pulaski maintains a cultural character shaped by a blend of tradition and the quiet, persistent influence of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains. The town square and the immediate vicinity of Jackson Park often serve as the stage for community gatherings that reflect the local heritage and a shared sense of regional identity. Among those who have contributed to the broader cultural consciousness, the professional football player Ronde Barber stands out as a notable figure who spent his formative years in the area. Local events frequently highlight the agrarian and industrial history of the region, emphasizing the endurance of the people who have inhabited this landscape for generations. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured quality, reflecting a deep-seated connection to the land and the quiet beauty of the inland hills.

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.
