How to Use This Red Oak, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Red Oak, North Carolina. 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 to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).

Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Red Oak and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

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. 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 Red Oak.

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 Red Oak, North Carolina

Red Oak is a locality in Pitt County, North Carolina, United States. Red Oak is located at 35.5724°N, 77.4233°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 27856.0.

Red Oak unfurls its quiet presence across a landscape defined by the gentle, patient shaping of the North Carolina Piedmont. It lies 3.2 miles north-northwest of Winterville, NC (from Winterville, NC: bearing 337°T), and is situated 4.2 miles southwest of Greenville. Here, the land hums with a deep, earthy resonance, a terrain of subtle swells and long, sweeping vistas where fields of soy and corn stretch to meet the horizon. Ancient oaks, their limbs gnarled like the hands of elders, punctuate the open spaces, their deep roots anchoring them to soil that has known generations of cultivation. The air itself carries a certain weight, a palpable stillness often broken only by the whisper of wind through the pines or the distant, contented lowing of cattle. As dusk descends, the sky above Red Oak often blazes with a painter's palette of bruised purples and fiery oranges, a fleeting spectacle that imbues the ordinary with a touch of the sublime. The story of Red Oak is woven from threads of agricultural endeavor and the enduring spirit of its people, a heritage deeply tied to the fertile earth. For many years, the rhythm of life here was dictated by the cycles of planting and harvest, with tobacco and cotton forming the backbone of its economy, fostering a community characterized by a courteous, unhurried Southern register. While the larger industries have shifted, the echoes of that agricultural past remain, evident in the weathered barns and the quiet pride taken in local produce. Red Oak draws sustenance not just from its soil but from the shared memory of its founding, a place where neighborly bonds are as strong as the ancient oaks that give it its name, and where the simple act of conversation over a porch swing can feel like a profound engagement with history.

About This Red Oak Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Red Oak, North Carolina — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 35.572384, -77.4233. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service, with current observations and a 7-day forecast also powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while a Wikipedia summary or an editorially written description provides background on Red Oak and Pitt County.

Detailed location data for Red Oak includes the ZIP code (27834), telephone area code (919, 984), county seat of Pitt County (Greenville), and school district assignment (Nash-Rocky Mount Schools). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any US city or town.

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 — ensuring the correct Red Oak is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
