How to Use This Smithfield, Virginia Map

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

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.

Smithfield unfolds across a landscape of gentle, inland terrain where the heavy, humid air of the afternoon clings to the dense hardwood thickets. It lies 1.1 miles south of Radford, VA (from Radford, VA: bearing 171°T), and is situated 9.1 miles west of Christiansburg. Howard M. Sisson Park serves as the immediate threshold to this quiet expanse, marking the edge of the local topography where the land dips into the shaded depression of Hazel Hollow. Connellys Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth nearby, feeding the moisture that keeps the soil dark and fertile. On the distant horizon, the jagged, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, silent boundary to the west, while the light at dusk turns the canopy a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows that seem to stretch toward the serene waters of Claytor Lake.

Smithfield maintains a deliberate pace, defined by a long-standing agricultural heritage that continues to shape its economic identity and daily rhythm. The local industry remains deeply connected to the traditional processing methods that have sustained the region for generations, grounding the people in a visceral, repetitive labor that respects the slow turning of the seasons. Visitors often gravitate toward the historic architecture that marks the center, where the preservation of brick and timber signals a deep, unspoken loyalty to the past. Even as modern transit and commerce brush against its borders, Smithfield persists in a state of watchful patience, finding beauty in the austere, enduring connection between the inhabitants and the stubborn, productive clay of the surrounding plains.

About This Smithfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Smithfield, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.972412, -76.614155. 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 Smithfield includes the ZIP code (24141, 24280, 23430), telephone area code (276, 757), county seat of Radford (city), and school district assignment (Isle of Wight County Public Schools).

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.
