Explore Union Hall, 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 Union Hall, 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 Union Hall.
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.

Union Hall occupies a verdant expanse where the earth rises in slow, deliberate folds beneath a canopy of hardwoods. It lies 22.4 miles southeast of Roanoke, VA (from Roanoke, VA: bearing 141°T), and is situated 3.4 miles southwest of Smith Mountain Lake. Sunlight filters through the dense timber, casting long, fractured shadows across the fields that slope gently toward the waters of Smith Mountain Lake. The air here carries the faint, damp scent of loam and the cool breath of the landscape, a reminder of the ancient stillness that persists even as the seasons turn the leaves from vibrant green to a brittle, muted copper. Small, quiet channels like Standiford Creek trace narrow paths through the undergrowth, their movement audible only as a soft murmuring against the stones. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, silent boundary to the horizon, grounding Union Hall in a geography defined by its deep, terrestrial permanence.
Agriculture and the slow pulse of local trade have long defined the rhythms of life in Union Hall, shaping a culture that values the steady labor of the soil and the quiet endurance of the seasons. Historic traces of the land’s use remain visible in the sprawling acreage of the James Turner Smith Farm, where the legacy of earlier generations persists in the weathered fences and the enduring character of the fields. Beyond the immediate reach of these pastures, the landscape deepens into the quiet isolation of Broad Ridge Hollow, a place where the pace of the day is measured by the shifting position of the sun rather than the urgency of clocks. The economy remains rooted in the land and the quiet commerce of the surrounding countryside, ensuring that Union Hall maintains a deliberate, unhurried focus that honors the traditions of the Old Dominion while looking steadily toward the future.

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.
