How to Use This Wade, North Carolina Map

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

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.

Wade stretches across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of level plains and the slow, deliberate movement of the earth toward the interior. It lies 11.1 miles northeast of Fayetteville, NC (from Fayetteville, NC: bearing 46°T), and is situated 5.7 miles northeast of Eastover. The horizon remains wide and open, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Big Ridge rising to the west, a reminder of the elevation changes further inland. Only a mile away, the Cape Fear River carves a dark, silty path through the soil, its presence felt in the humidity that clings to the late afternoon air. At the center of the local geography, Town of Wade - Wade Park offers a patch of green space where the grass grows thick and resilient, grounding the community in its immediate, tangible surroundings.

History in Wade remains tied to the cycles of the harvest, echoing the agricultural heritage that once defined the economic pulse of these flat, fertile reaches. While the industry of the region has shifted, the legacy of tobacco and textile production lingers in the sturdy architecture of older buildings and the disciplined layout of the land. Residents find a familiar rhythm in the daily commute and the maintenance of the nearby fields, while Smiths Lake, situated six miles distant, provides a quiet catchment for the regional rainfall. Life in Wade operates with a steady, unadorned composure, where the quality of light at dusk softens the edges of the barns and silos, turning the expansive sky into a canvas of deepening gray and violet.

About This Wade Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wade, North Carolina. Coordinates: 35.162942, -78.736132. 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 Wade includes the ZIP code (28395), telephone area code (704, 980), county seat of Cumberland County (Fayetteville), and school district assignment (Cumberland 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.
