How to Use This Dinwiddie, Virginia Map

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

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.

Dinwiddie preserves a quiet expanse of Piedmont earth where the morning light settles heavy and golden upon the red clay furrows. It lies 14.5 miles southwest of Petersburg, VA (from Petersburg, VA: bearing 225°T), and is situated 15.0 miles southwest of Colonial Heights. The landscape unfolds in a series of modest, wooded swells, punctuated by the slow, deliberate current of Stony Creek, which winds through the landscape just a mile away. Richardsons Pond catches the sky in its dark, still surface, mirroring the pines that shift in the humid air. While the Blue Ridge Mountains remain a distant, hazy indigo smudge on the western horizon, the immediate terrain feels intimate and grounded, defined by the steady, unyielding presence of the woods. The air here holds a particular weight, thick with the scent of damp earth and pine resin, signaling a land that has long been shaped by the slow turning of seasons and the patient growth of timber.

Dinwiddie carries the marks of a deep, agrarian inheritance, where the labor of the soil once defined the rhythm of every household. Though the landscape has shifted from the broad tobacco fields of the past toward a more diversified economy, the local character remains anchored in the remnants of its colonial origins and the gravity of its Civil War memories. The nearby ABT Holding serves as a quiet boundary for the land, preserving a sense of openness that contrasts with the encroaching hum of modern transit corridors. Far from the distant influence of Pocahontas State Forest, the rhythm of daily life here favors the steady, predictable cycles of the local harvest and the maintenance of family plots. People move with a deliberate pace, recognizing that the land requires a certain stewardship, their lives tied to the cooling shadows of the afternoon and the enduring quiet of the Virginia interior.

About This Dinwiddie Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dinwiddie, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.077928, -77.586655. 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 Dinwiddie includes the ZIP code (23841), telephone area code (804), county seat of Dinwiddie County (Dinwiddie), and school district assignment (Dinwiddie County Public Schools).

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.
