Explore Chantilly, 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 Chantilly, 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 Chantilly.
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.

Chantilly rests upon a landscape of gentle, rhythmic slopes that define the character of the Virginia Piedmont. It lies 1.7 miles west-southwest of Franklin Farm, VA (from Franklin Farm, VA: bearing 246°T), and is situated 3.7 miles north of Centreville. The horizon remains quiet, save for the faint, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains visible some seventy-one miles to the west. Water moves with quiet intent through the local terrain, where Flatlick Branch winds its way past the quiet greenery of the Flatlick Stream Valley Park. Three miles beyond these borders, the still surface of Chantilly Lake captures the shifting amber hues of the late afternoon sun. A sense of enduring space persists here, reaching toward the distant, preserved quietude of the Conway-Robinson Memorial State Forest.
Chantilly retains the memory of its agrarian origins while embracing the rapid pulse of the modern information economy. Early settlers once tended to the red clay soil, but today the local industry centers on aerospace, defense, and advanced technological research. These corporate campuses and data hubs have transformed the old landscape, creating a distinct rhythm of commerce that keeps the pace of daily life brisk and purposeful. The influence of the mid-Atlantic corridor is evident in the architecture of the office parks that stand where fields of grain previously swayed in the wind. This balance between a deep historical footprint and the demands of the present defines the economic identity of Chantilly.
Cultural life in Chantilly finds its expression in the diverse community that gathers around a variety of local events and public spaces. Residents often find common ground at local festivals or within the classrooms of the area's well-regarded educational institutions, which serve as the primary anchors for social connection. While many travelers pass through the nearby aviation-focused museums, the true character of the place is found in the quiet persistence of its neighborhoods and the shared daily routines of its people. Notable figures with roots or connections to the region include the explorer John Smith, who surveyed these lands centuries ago, leaving a legacy that lingers in the local nomenclature. The spirit of the area remains steady, defined by a blend of historical awareness and a forward-looking ambition that colors every aspect of life.

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.
