Explore Claremont, 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 Claremont, 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 Claremont.
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.

Claremont occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises in soft, verdant swells above the steady, dark pulse of the James River. It lies 14.4 miles west-southwest of Williamsburg, VA (from Williamsburg, VA: bearing 258°T), and is situated 18.5 miles east-southeast of Hopewell. {NAVIGATION_SENTENCE} The air here holds a heavy, fertile stillness, carrying the scent of damp loam and pine needles that drift from the dense thickets nearby. Sunken Meadow Pond rests in the quietude of the surrounding woods, its surface a dark mirror that captures the long, slanted shadows of late afternoon. While the distant Blue Ridge Mountains remain mere ghosts of violet light on the far horizon, the immediate landscape is defined by the intimate, clay-rich soil and the persistent growth of hardwood forests that shelter the Chickahominy Wildlife Management Area just a few miles away.
Claremont retains the quiet gravity of a place shaped by centuries of agrarian ambition, where the remnants of early settlement near Flowerdew Hundred continue to inform the rhythm of the soil. The economy remains tethered to the land, moving in the slow, deliberate cycles of timber and cultivation that have defined this region since its earliest days. Life in Claremont unfolds without the clamor of modern industry, favoring the patience of long-standing family holdings and the measured pace of those who work the fields. The architecture of the older streets reflects a sturdy, unpretentious endurance, standing as a quiet record of generations who recognized that the true value of the earth lies in its capacity to sustain a life of steady, grounded labor.

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.
