How to Use This Stanleytown, Virginia Map

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

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 Stanleytown, Virginia

Stanleytown is a locality in Scott County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,385. The population density is 191.2 people per km². Stanleytown is located at 36.7515°N, 79.9524°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 24244, 24168.

Stanleytown occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic movement of Cove Creek as it winds toward the horizon. It lies 30.3 miles west-northwest of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 294°T), and is situated 8.3 miles south-southeast of Big Stone Gap. The landscape here is defined by the deep, verdant reach of Jefferson National Forest, which stands barely a mile away to shelter the local timber and wildlife. To the north, the terrain dips into the quiet, shadowed depression of Casteel Hollow, where the morning mist often lingers against the damp earth long after the sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate tree line, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, hazy boundary against the sky, grounding the view in a vast, ancient geology that remains indifferent to the passing of seasons.

Stanleytown emerged from the necessity of industry, drawing its vitality from the wood products and manufacturing sectors that once fueled the regional economy. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the steady output of its mills, a legacy that distinguishes the local character from the quieter, agricultural reaches nearby. While the bustle of larger hubs stays far removed, the presence of Big Cherry Reservoir only five miles away offers a quiet expanse of water that mirrors the changing color of the sky. In the late afternoon, the light catches the metallic surfaces of the older buildings, casting long, stark shadows that highlight a history built on labor and the slow, deliberate work of hands.
