Explore Broadlands, 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 Broadlands, 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 Broadlands.
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.

Broadlands occupies a quiet stretch of the northern Virginia landscape where the earth maintains a steady, deliberate incline. It lies 2.5 miles southwest of Ashburn, VA (from Ashburn, VA: bearing 225°T), and is situated 7.1 miles south-southeast of Leesburg. The Beaverdam Run carves a slender path through the local terrain, acting as a constant, low-voiced companion to the residents who walk its banks. To the west, the Blue Ridge Mountains occasionally emerge as a faint, violet bruise against the horizon during the clearer days of autumn. Beaverdam Reservoir sits just a mile away, its still surface reflecting the changing moods of the sky with a mirror-like clarity. Broadlands remains far removed from any coastline, defined instead by the heavy, humid stillness of inland summers and the crisp, dry bite of winter air.
Broadlands emerged from the transition of former agricultural tracts into the modern, interconnected corridors that define the regional economy. The local pulse is now driven by the professional services and technology sectors that have replaced the older, agrarian rhythms of the soil. While the past remains visible in the architecture of the surrounding counties, the current industry focuses on the rapid exchange of information and data. The proximity to significant transport routes has facilitated a steady growth that balances the need for quiet residential space with the demands of a high-paced workforce. Broadlands maintains a character that acknowledges this shift, favoring a practical, forward-looking integration of office space and housing.
Broadlands fosters a sense of order and civic engagement, anchored by the presence of the Broadlands Nature Center which offers a direct point of contact with the local ecology. Life here moves in cycles governed by the school calendar and the seasonal patterns of the regional climate, creating a predictable and steady pace for those who reside in the neighborhood. While the area is not defined by the presence of singular, globally famous figures, it is populated by a diverse array of professionals who contribute to the broader intellectual life of the state. The landscape remains punctuated by spaces dedicated to public recreation, ensuring that the outdoors stays accessible despite the ongoing development. Broadlands serves as a testament to the way contemporary life can exist in close proximity to natural features like the nearby forest preserves, offering a deliberate, measured environment for its inhabitants.

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.
