How to Use This Boston, Virginia Map

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

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 Boston, Virginia

Boston is a locality in Accomack County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 454. The population density is 68.4 people per km². Boston is located at 37.6039°N, 75.8437°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22713, 23434, 23420.

Boston occupies a low-lying expanse where the moisture of the Atlantic air clings to the soil, shaping a landscape defined by the quiet saturation of the earth and the presence of Custis Pond at its very center. It lies 43.5 miles northeast of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 55°T), and is situated 33.8 miles southwest of Chincoteague. The horizon remains largely flat, though the faint, jagged silhouette of Ames Ridge rises in the distance, providing a muted anchor to the sky. Beyond the immediate fields, the tidal influence of Kusian Cove draws the water inward, while the sluggish, rhythmic flow of Nandua Creek marks the eastern boundary of the terrain. The light here often takes on a bruised, silver quality, particularly when the salt-heavy breeze rolls off the coast eight miles away, softening the edges of the marsh grass and the trunks of the pines.

Boston maintains a quiet economy tethered to the harvest of the land and the seasonal rhythms of the nearby waterways, reflecting a legacy that prioritizes endurance over rapid expansion. Families have long worked the surrounding fields, a tradition that persists alongside the more modern, deliberate pace of the local trade. Residents look toward the expanse of Parkers Marsh State Natural Area Preserve as a sanctuary, where the wild character of the peninsula remains undisturbed by the encroaching pressures of the outside world. Farther out, the presence of Finneys Island serves as a distant, lonely sentinel against the horizon, reminding those who live in Boston that the terrain is perpetually shaped by the slow, unyielding pressure of the tides.
