How to Use This Burgess, Virginia Map

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

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.

Burgess marks the convergence of low-lying forest and the brackish, tidal rhythms that define this corner of the Tidewater. It lies 44.2 miles north of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 11°T), and is situated 15.4 miles south of Saint Marys. Davis Mill Run carves a narrow, persistent path through the landscape, its dark waters feeding into a network of marshes that eventually yield to the distant salt air of Horn Harbor. Beyond the immediate canopy of loblolly pines and tangled undergrowth, the terrain remains largely flat, a subtle expanse where the horizon is defined by moisture-heavy skies rather than the rugged lines of Orchard Ridge, which looms only as a faint, jagged promise far to the west. On quiet afternoons, the atmosphere near Sydnors Millpond carries a heavy stillness, as if the land itself is pausing to absorb the lingering heat of the sun.

Burgess sustains itself through a quiet continuity, drawing strength from the soil and the proximity of the water that has shaped local life for generations. While the nearby Bush Mill Stream State Natural Area Preserve offers a sanctuary for the wilder, undisturbed character of the region, the economy of Burgess remains tethered to the practicalities of agriculture and the seasonal shifts of the Chesapeake landscape. Travelers passing through might notice the weathered outbuildings and the occasional glimpse of Bamboo Island across the water, markers of a place that values the steady, unadorned labor of its people. Life here moves according to the tides and the harvest, maintaining an identity that is rarely distracted by the frantic pace of the outside world, preferring instead the enduring, rhythmic cycles of the coastal plain.
