Explore Augusta, Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Augusta, 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 Augusta.
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.

Augusta reveals its character through the steady, patient flow of the East Dry Branch, which carves a modest path through the landscape before disappearing into the verdant embrace of the George Washington National Forest. It lies 10.1 miles west-northwest of Staunton, VA (from Staunton, VA: bearing 291°T), and is situated 16.5 miles northwest of Stuarts Draft. This immediate terrain is defined by the subtle depression of Falls Hollow, a place where the morning mist lingers against the earth, clinging to the soil until the sun climbs high enough to burn it away. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Shenandoah Mountains marks the horizon, a jagged reminder of the ancient geology that anchors this inland territory. Local residents often seek the quietude of the Crawford Knob Trail, finding a reprieve from the heat of the day beneath the canopy of trees that stretch toward Nders Pond. The quality of light here is particularly fine in the late afternoon, turning the fields a deep, burnished gold that seems to hold the warmth of the sun long after the shadows have lengthened.
Augusta carries the weight of a long agrarian tradition, where the economy has shifted from the labor of the soil to the quiet persistence of modern commerce and small-scale enterprise. The legacy of those who first cleared these woods remains visible in the sturdy lines of old farmsteads, standing as silent witnesses to generations that relied upon the rhythms of the seasons. There is a perceptible dignity in the way the local life unfolds, a measured pace that values the endurance of the community above the frantic speed of the outside world. Within the boundaries of the George Washington National Forest, the land remains largely undisturbed, preserving a wilder aspect of the geography that contrasts with the cultivated pastures nearby. This intersection of managed land and untamed timber defines the life of Augusta, creating a space where the past is not merely remembered but continues to inform the daily habits of those who call this place their own.

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.
