Explore Chase City, 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 Chase City, 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 Chase City.
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.

Chase City anchors itself firmly amidst the red-clay expanse of the Piedmont, where the land stretches out in quiet, earnest fields and heavy stands of hardwood timber. It lies 53.9 miles east-northeast of Danville, VA (from Danville, VA: bearing 74°T), and is situated 16.7 miles north-northeast of Henrico. The horizon remains wide and uncluttered, though the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains occasionally haunts the western sky when the air turns crisp and thin. Little Bluestone Creek meanders through the periphery, a narrow vein of water that traces the slow, deliberate pulse of the local geography. At the edge of the grid, Unknown Park offers a stretch of untamed ground where the soil holds the heat of the afternoon long after the shadows lengthen. Light here has a way of thickening at dusk, turning the dust of the backroads into a fine, golden powder that settles over the porch swings and the quiet intersections.
Chase City carries the weight of a long agrarian history, having grown from the fundamental rhythms of the tobacco trade that once dictated the prosperity of the entire region. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive leaf culture of the past, the town retains a steady, deliberate pace that favors endurance over sudden transformation. A short drive away, the expansive waters of John H. Kerr Reservoir dominate the landscape, providing a vast, stillness-filled counterpoint to the town’s inland character. Life within the municipal borders is defined by a deep-seated familiarity, where the architecture of older storefronts speaks to a time when commerce was tethered to the arrival of the rail. The present day finds the locals navigating a transition toward modern utility while remaining rooted in the stubborn, honest clay of their landscape.

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.
