Explore Yuma, 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 Yuma, 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 Yuma.
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.

Yuma maintains a quiet composure where the earth swells into ridges and hollows, defined by the persistent, winding path of the Cate Branch. It lies 23.5 miles west of Bristol, VA (from Bristol, VA: bearing 273°T), and is situated 5.4 miles north-northwest of Kingsport. The landscape surrounding Yuma is anchored by the verdant, low-slung expanse of Double Lick, a basin that holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed above the horizon. While the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged silhouette against the western sky, the immediate environment is defined by dense woodlands and open fields that soften under the heavy, golden light of late afternoon. Five miles to the west, the waters of Cherokee Lake catch the reflection of the sky, offering a stillness that mirrors the deliberate pace of the land itself.
Generations of families have shaped the character of Yuma, building a life upon the rhythms of agriculture and the modest requirements of rural industry. Daily existence here is tethered to the land’s productivity, a tradition that persists even as modern life touches the fringes of the hollows. Residents often find their way toward the Gate City Community Park for local gatherings, a space that serves as a common ground for those who appreciate the uncomplicated geography of the region. History in these parts is not kept in plaques or statues, but in the maintenance of fences and the seasonal turn of the soil, ensuring that the legacy of Yuma remains as grounded as the heavy, fertile earth beneath the traveler’s feet.

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.
