How to Use This Arlington, Virginia Map

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

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.

Arlington stretches across a landscape defined by the persistent, winding path of Old Plantation Creek, which carves a deliberate route through the terrain. It lies 20.3 miles east-northeast of Poquoson, VA (from Poquoson, VA: bearing 69°T), and is situated 25.8 miles north of Virginia Beach. The air here holds the damp, heavy scent of the nearby coast, carrying a saline weight that suggests the proximity of the Cherrystone Channel. Beyond the immediate lowlands, the earth rises in subtle, muted shifts toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Castle Ridge, a jagged line that anchors the horizon against the fading light. In the quiet hours of dusk, the water at Dixon and Parson Pond turns the color of hammered lead, reflecting a sky that seems to press down upon the flat, marshy expanse of Old Plantation Flats. The land feels ancient and settled, marked by the slow, rhythmic encroachment of the tides that pull at the edges of the soil.

Arlington maintains a steady, deliberate pace, its character shaped by the long-standing influence of the sea and the quiet endurance of its natural boundaries. The local economy finds its footing in the traditions of the land and the preservation of the nearby Pickett's Harbor State Natural Area Preserve, where the preservation of wild space remains a vital counterpoint to human industry. History here is not merely a collection of dates but a lingering presence, felt in the way the light hits the salt-crusted grasses and the isolation of Sandy Island visible in the distance. The people move with a quiet, practiced familiarity, navigating a geography that demands respect for the water and the shifting, sandy earth. It is a place where the modern pulse of activity is tempered by the gravity of the landscape, ensuring that Arlington remains distinct, grounded, and deeply tethered to its coastal heritage.
