How to Use This Apple Mountain Lake, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Apple Mountain Lake, Virginia. 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 Virginia 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 Apple Mountain Lake.
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 Apple Mountain Lake, Virginia
Apple Mountain Lake is a locality in Warren County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,400. The population density is 315.0 people per km². Apple Mountain Lake is located at 38.9243°N, 78.1014°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 22642.Apple Mountain Lake reveals itself through a landscape of quiet, wooded slopes and subtle elevations that define the inland character of this Virginia terrain. It lies 5.0 miles east of Front Royal, VA (from Front Royal, VA: bearing 85°T), and is situated 4.2 miles south-southwest of Shenandoah Farms. The topography is anchored by the presence of Apple Mountain Upper Lake, which holds the morning light in a glass-still reflection before the breeze stirs the canopy. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a hazy, indigo backdrop to the immediate surroundings, while the local drainage patterns are quietly dictated by the path of Manassas Run. The air here carries a distinct clarity, particularly as the sun begins to dip below the ridgeline, casting long, thin shadows across the earth of Snake Hollow that seem to emphasize the stillness of the afternoon.
Apple Mountain Lake serves as a quiet residential enclave, shaped by a history of land development that transformed this rural acreage into the settled neighborhood it is today. Residents often find their way toward the nearby Unknown Park for a sense of solitude, or travel a short distance to access the Belle Meade Linden Trail to traverse the local woods. The economy remains tethered to the broader regional shifts, with many inhabitants participating in the professional rhythms of the neighboring corridors while maintaining a slower pace of life at home. A sense of deliberate calm persists here, where the proximity to natural landmarks and the steady, unpretentious flow of the local environment create a distinct, grounded atmosphere for those who make their lives in this inland setting.

About This Apple Mountain Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Apple Mountain Lake, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.924278, -78.101387. 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 Apple Mountain Lake includes the ZIP code (22642), telephone area code (540), county seat of Warren County (Front Royal), and school district assignment (Warren County Public 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.
