How to Use This Scott, Virginia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Scott, 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 Scott.

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.

Scott defines itself through the steady, quiet descent of the Flower Branch as it carves a path through the verdant, inland terrain. It lies 23.8 miles west-northwest of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 284°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north-northwest of Kingsport. The land surrounding Scott unfolds in a series of deep, green creases, with the moisture-rich soil of Davidson Hollow offering a stark, shadowed contrast to the sun-drenched ridges that define the local horizon. The air here holds a distinct crispness, especially as the evening light catches the mist rising from the creek bed, turning the shadows into long, violet ribbons that stretch across the fields. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-tinted silhouette far to the west, the immediate landscape remains defined by the intimate, sheltered geometry of the hollows and the slow, deliberate movement of the water.

Economic life in Scott remains tethered to the rhythms of the earth, echoing a legacy of agrarian industry that has shaped the region for generations. Residents often find their recreation at the Rp Kane Athletic Field, where the grass is kept to a precise, emerald velvet, serving as a communal anchor for a population that values the stillness of the interior. Those seeking the solace of deeper water travel the few miles to Blue Water Pond, a quiet expanse that mirrors the changing sky, while the persistent, rhythmic pulse of Monkey Falls provides a natural soundtrack for the rugged terrain nearby. Life in Scott proceeds without pretense, favoring the steady work of the day and the long, quiet evenings that settle over the valley floor, leaving a sense of permanence in the way the light lingers on the timber and the soil.

About This Scott Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scott, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.681579, -82.605118. 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 Scott includes the ZIP code (24251, 24244), telephone area code (276), county seat of Scott County (Gate City), 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.
