How to Use This Lawsonville, North Carolina Map

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

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 Lawsonville, North Carolina

Lawsonville is a locality in Rockingham County, North Carolina, United States. Lawsonville is located at 36.3929°N, 79.5636°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 27320, 27022.

Lawsonville occupies a quiet expanse of the North Carolina piedmont where the earth rises and falls in long, muscular swells of red clay and forest floor. It lies 6.2 miles east-northeast of Reidsville, NC (from Reidsville, NC: bearing 65°T), and is situated 16.3 miles southwest of Danville. Sunlight here has a particular weight, pressing down through the canopy to warm the heavy soil that defines the local horizon. Only a mile from the center, the waters of Lick Fork move with a deliberate, low-voiced persistence, carving a thin silver line through the dense undergrowth. Beyond the immediate fields, the distant silhouette of Corbett Ridge anchors the western sky, a faint, serrated edge against the deepening blue of twilight. Two miles away, the surface of Lake Wade remains glass-still, reflecting the changing temper of the clouds as they drift over the inland plains.

Lawsonville carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of the soil and the steady turning of seasons. Generations have worked this land, transitioning from the rhythms of early agriculture to a modern economy that favors small-scale enterprise and the slow, methodical pace of rural life. Five miles away, the quietude of Cambridge Park offers a sanctuary for the local flora and fauna, preserving a fragment of the wild character that once dominated the region. Daily life in Lawsonville is marked by the sound of tires on gravel and the seasonal scent of drying hay, a steady existence that pays little mind to the frantic pulse of larger hubs. There is a profound clarity in the way the local air holds the heat of the afternoon, lingering long after the sun has slipped behind the distant, shadowed rise of the landscape.

About This Lawsonville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lawsonville, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.392915, -79.563638. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Lawsonville includes the ZIP code (27320, 27022), telephone area code (336), county seat of Rockingham County (Wentworth), and school district assignment.

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.
