How to Use This Burkeville, Virginia Map

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

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.

Burkeville occupies a quiet expanse of the Piedmont, where the soil holds the deep, rusted iron color of a long-settled landscape. It lies 34.7 miles west-southwest of Brandermill, VA (from Brandermill, VA: bearing 241°T), and is situated 4.4 miles west-northwest of Crewe. Flat Creek wanders through the low ground just a mile away, its slow current carving a path through the dense, tangled undergrowth that defines the local topography. To the west, the distant summits of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a hazy, indigo boundary against the evening sky, while the nearby Prince Edward State Forest offers a dense canopy of pine and oak that cools the humid air. The atmosphere here possesses a weight of stillness, especially at dusk, when the light turns amber and catches the dust rising from the quiet roads that intersect at the center of Burkeville.

History clings to the architecture of the area, a legacy of rail junctions and agricultural ambition that once defined the regional economy. Beyond the immediate reach of the tracks, the land remains largely defined by its proximity to the natural quietude of Unknown Park, a space where the rhythm of the day is dictated by the turning seasons rather than the rush of industry. The local economy has transitioned from its early reliance on the tobacco trade into a more modest, modern pace, yet the persistence of the old mercantile buildings suggests a deep attachment to the past. Residents move with a deliberate grace, respecting the silence of the woods and the slow, consistent movement of water through the nearby landscape, maintaining a way of life that values the endurance of the land above the fleeting trends of the outside world.

About This Burkeville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burkeville, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.187653, -78.201386. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Burkeville includes the ZIP code (23922), telephone area code (276), county seat of Nottoway County (Nottoway), and school district assignment (Nottoway County Public Schools).

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.
