How to Use This Sugar Grove, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sugar Grove, 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 Sugar Grove.
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.

It lies 44.8 miles east-northeast of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 74°T), and is situated 7.0 miles southeast of Marion. The terrain surrounding Sugar Grove is defined by deep, shadowed inclines and open fields that seem to hold the afternoon light with a particular, lingering stillness. To the west, the land rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, while the immediate geography is marked by the steep, wooded rise of the nearby Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. The earth here feels ancient and heavy with moisture, particularly where the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Russell Hollow, offering a landscape that favors the patient observer over the hurried traveler.
Economic life in Sugar Grove remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the timbered heights that define the regional horizon. Early settlers were drawn to these fertile bottoms for the promise of self-sufficiency, a legacy that persists in the modest, hardworking character of the local industry. While the modern world moves with a different tempo, residents find their recreation in the quietude of the Mullins Branch Trail or the cool, reflective surface of Hungry Mother Lake. Sugar Grove maintains a singular, unostentatious identity, where the daily passage of time is measured more by the seasonal turning of the forest canopy than by the noise of distant commerce.

About This Sugar Grove Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sugar Grove, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.760754, -81.401245. 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 Sugar Grove includes the ZIP code (24073, 24375), telephone area code (540, 276), county seat of Smyth County (Marion), and school district assignment (Smyth 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.
