Explore Broadway, 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 Broadway, 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 Broadway.
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.

Broadway occupies a stretch of fertile ground where the steady, shallow currents of Linville Creek carve a modest path through the landscape. It lies 11.9 miles north-northeast of Harrisonburg, VA (from Harrisonburg, VA: bearing 18°T), and is situated 2.2 miles southwest of Timberville. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Shenandoah Mountains define the horizon, their jagged lines softening into the hazy blue of the late afternoon. The air here holds the dry, honest weight of an inland valley, cooling quickly as the sun dips behind the ridge and shadows stretch across the fields. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land pulls away toward the quiet depression of Simmers Hollow, leaving the soil beneath Broadway to settle into a rhythm governed by the changing seasons and the slow turning of the earth.
Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of Broadway, a legacy of the German and Scots-Irish settlers who first recognized the value of this limestone-rich soil. The economy moves with a deliberate, measured pace, anchored by the barns and processing facilities that process the output of the surrounding farms. Residents often congregate at Heritage Park, a space that serves as a common ground for the daily life of the locality, removed from the frantic noise of larger corridors. A short drive away, the water at Cold Spring Pond remains still and dark, reflecting the changing canopy of the woods, while the influence of Paul State Forest lingers in the cool, timber-scented breeze that occasionally rolls down from the higher elevations.

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.
