How to Use This Westlake Corner, Virginia Map

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

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.

Westlake Corner commands a quiet prominence where the Piedmont’s gentle decline meets the persistent, ancient reach of the Appalachian Mountains visible on the western horizon. It lies 16.8 miles southeast of Roanoke, VA (from Roanoke, VA: bearing 127°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north-northwest of Smith Mountain Lake. The landscape surrounding Westlake Corner is defined by a deep, verdant stillness, marked by the proximity of Smith Mountain Lake and the modest, winding path of Bettys Creek. Light filters through the hardwood canopy with a heavy, golden quality, illuminating the red clay soil that has anchored this terrain for centuries. In the quiet hours of the morning, the air carries a crisp, terrestrial scent, grounding the sprawling, forested expanse that stretches toward the distant, hazy blue ridges.

History presses firmly into the soil here, most notably at the nearby Booker T. Washington National Monument, where the legacy of the landscape remains a somber and foundational presence. The local economy has shifted from the agrarian cycles of tobacco and timber toward a deliberate, service-oriented rhythm that accommodates both permanent residents and those drawn to the nearby waters. While the distant murmur of Falling Rock Falls or the seclusion of Dark Hollow offers a respite for the contemplative, the daily life of the area remains tethered to the crossroads and the slow, steady exchange of goods and labor. It is a place where the modern commerce of the region operates in quiet deference to a terrain that has seen generations of industry rise and recede, leaving behind a resilient, understated character.
