How to Use This McLeansville, North Carolina Map

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

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 McLeansville, North Carolina

McLeansville is a locality in Guilford County, North Carolina, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,113. The population density is 70.0 people per km². McLeansville is located at 36.0976°N, 79.6547°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 27301.

McLeansville spreads across the quiet, verdant expanse of the Piedmont, a landscape defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Blackwood Creek as it carves a path through the red clay soil. It lies 7.8 miles east-northeast of Greensboro, NC (from Greensboro, NC: bearing 72°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west of Elon. The air here holds a particular weight in the late afternoon, cooling as the shadows stretch long over the fields and the light catches the fine, dusty haze rising from the earth. To the far horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Corbett Ridge offers a reminder of the elevation that lies much further west, though the immediate terrain remains defined by modest, sun-drenched slopes and dense patches of hardwood. Residents often find their way toward the quiet waters of Lakewood Lake, where the surface reflects the changing sky with a glassy, unbroken clarity, or wander the wooded trails of Guilford County Park to observe the seasonal turn of the foliage.

McLeansville traces its lineage back to the agricultural roots of the region, where the labor of early settlers transformed the wilderness into a network of small, productive farms. Over time, the economy shifted alongside the changing demands of the state, moving from traditional tobacco and textile interests toward the diverse, modern commerce that keeps the local pace steady and industrious. The rhythm of life here remains tied to the land, characterized by a neighborly reserve that values the quiet dignity of a day’s work well finished. Even as the modern world encroaches with its demands, the character of the place persists in the way the morning mist clings to the banks of Blackwood Creek, grounding the daily experience of McLeansville in a geography that has remained largely unchanged by the haste of the centuries.

About This McLeansville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McLeansville, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.097555, -79.654748. 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 McLeansville includes the ZIP code (27301), telephone area code (336), county seat of Guilford County (Greensboro), and school district assignment (Guilford County Schools).

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.
