Explore Catlett, 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 Catlett, 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 Catlett.
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.

Catlett manifests as a quiet intersection of open fields and woodland edges, defined by the slow, persistent movement of Cedar Run as it carves through the local clay. It lies 7.4 miles southwest of Bristow, VA (from Bristow, VA: bearing 230°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south-southwest of Linton Hall. The horizon remains wide and unencumbered, though the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Blue Ridge Mountains serve as a permanent, silent anchor to the west. Within the nearby expanse of the Weston Wildlife Management Area, the landscape settles into a patchwork of thickets and grasses that hold the morning frost long after the sun has climbed. The air here carries a heavy, terrestrial scent, undisturbed by the moisture of the distant coast, and the light at dusk often turns the tall meadow grass into a field of burnished copper.
Catlett traces its character to the iron rails that once dictated the pace of commerce, turning a quiet rural crossroads into a vital conduit for the agricultural output of the Piedmont. While the reliance on local rail has receded, the economy remains tethered to the land and the quiet industry of those who maintain the surrounding acreage. Residents look toward the nearby Whitney State Forest as a reservoir of quietude, while the proximity of Bagley Pond offers a reflective stillness to an otherwise industrious landscape. Life in Catlett proceeds with a deliberate, measured gravity, where the weight of regional history is not a spectacle, but a steady pulse felt in the maintenance of old fence lines and the routine work of the day.

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.
