How to Use This Caroline, Virginia Map

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

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.

Caroline extends across a landscape of quiet, agrarian patience where the earth holds the deep, red-clay memory of the Piedmont. It lies 20.2 miles south-southeast of Fredericksburg, VA (from Fredericksburg, VA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 15.8 miles south-southeast of Massaponax. Low, forested ridges ripple toward the horizon, where the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains serves as a permanent, atmospheric boundary against the western sky. In the humid stillness of summer, the air thickens with the scent of damp soil and pine, while the gentle, winding path of Smoots Run cuts through the undergrowth, its movement barely audible against the chorus of cicadas. Nearby, the water of Smoots Pond mirrors the shifting grays and golds of the afternoon, providing a sanctuary for wildlife that moves through the brush with an ancient, unbothered grace.

Caroline maintains a steady pulse defined by its long-standing connection to the land and the quiet persistence of its rural character. The legacy of tobacco and timber persists in the layout of the fields, though the modern rhythm of life here is increasingly shaped by the steady commute toward regional economic hubs. Residents find recreation and reflection within the protected expanses of the Mattaponi Wildlife Management Area, where the Broomstraw Trail offers a measured passage through dense hardwoods and open meadows. The heritage of the region is felt in the deliberate, courteous pace of daily interactions, a social fiber that remains as enduring as the stubborn, fertile soil that has supported generations of families.

About This Caroline Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Caroline, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.044556, -77.286488. 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 Caroline includes the ZIP code (22427, 22546), telephone area code (540), county seat of Caroline County (Bowling Green), and school district assignment.

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.
