Explore Cofield, North Carolina, 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 Cofield, 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina 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 Cofield.
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.

Cofield maintains a quiet composure across the flat, fertile plains of eastern North Carolina, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that seems to hold more light than the earth below. It lies 36.9 miles west of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 277°T), and is situated 6.4 miles northeast of Ahoskie. The land here is defined by a low, steady levelness, occasionally punctuated by the subtle elevation of Chestnut Ridge, which anchors the western view. Nearby, the dark, still waters of Mill Pond mirror the shifting clouds, while the narrow, winding path of Turnpike Branch cuts through the dense undergrowth. The air often carries the heavy, humid scent of damp soil and pine needles, especially as one nears the Chowan Swamp Game Land, where the dense canopy creates a sanctuary for quiet observation.
Cofield persists as a place of deliberate industry and deep-rooted persistence, where the legacy of agriculture remains a tangible thread in the daily labor of its inhabitants. Local life is defined by the steady, seasonal rhythms of the fields, reflecting a history built upon the labor and resilience of those who have worked this soil for generations. While the pace of modern commerce has shifted, the character of Cofield remains tied to the land and the quiet, enduring nature of its people. Even as the sun dips below the flat horizon, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields, the quietude of the surroundings suggests a place that is comfortable in its own stillness, indifferent to the clamor of the wider world.

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.
