Explore Campbell, 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 Campbell, 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 Campbell.
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.

Campbell reveals its character through the slow, rhythmic persistence of the Mechunk Creek as it carves a path through the red clay and thick undergrowth of the Piedmont. It lies 7.7 miles north-northeast of Lake Monticello, VA (from Lake Monticello, VA: bearing 13°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east of Charlottesville. The horizon to the west is defined by the hazy, bruised-purple silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a constant reminder of the geological theater that shapes the local weather and keeps the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine. Beyond the immediate tree line, the terrain yields to the quiet waters of Beaverdam Pond, where the surface tension holds the afternoon light like polished bronze. This inland landscape operates on a scale of quietude, where the land is defined less by grand vistas and more by the intimate, uneven topography that rises toward the distant, jagged spine of the mountains.
Campbell carries the weight of a long-settled history, where the labor of earlier generations remains visible in the lingering patterns of field and fence row that define the local economy. Agriculture still anchors the rhythm of the day, though the influence of modern industry has begun to reshape how residents interact with the surrounding woods and the seclusion of Rocky Hollow. The presence of Fernbrook Natural Area provides a protected sanctuary for the native flora, serving as a reminder of the wilder, uncultivated state that persists just beyond the reach of the paved roads. Here, life moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the changing seasons and the quiet persistence of a community that has learned to thrive in the shadow of the mountains while keeping its own counsel.

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.
