How to Use This Earlysville, Virginia Map

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

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.

About Earlysville, Virginia

Earlysville is a locality in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,153. The population density is 145.2 people per km². Earlysville is located at 38.1546°N, 78.4689°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 22936.

Earlysville occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Piedmont, where the land shifts into a rhythmic series of slopes and rises that catch the golden, heavy light of a waning afternoon. It lies 8.9 miles north of Charlottesville, VA (from Charlottesville, VA: bearing 358°T), and is situated 8.3 miles north-northeast of University of Virginia. The horizon to the west is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a constant presence that colors the morning sky in shades of bruised lavender and slate gray. Closer to the earth, the terrain is defined by the modest, winding path of Jacobs Run, which cuts through the soil, and the calm, reflective surface of Huckles Pond, where the air often hangs thick with the scent of damp loam and pine needles. The nearby Peavine Hollow serves as a subtle reminder of the deep, geological fissures that have long shaped the character of this inland terrain, guiding the flow of seasonal rains toward the deeper basins of the region.

Earlysville carries the lingering gravity of a place that has transitioned from colonial agrarian roots into a quiet, modern intersection of rural solitude and academic influence. The local economy draws its vitality from the proximity to regional centers of learning, blending the lingering legacy of small-scale agriculture with the steady, quiet hum of professional life. Families often gather at Chris Greene Lake Park, a space where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the water and the shifting shadows of the hardwood canopy. Life here maintains an unpretentious cadence, where the history of the land is not merely a memory, but a part of the daily commute, visible in the weathered barns and the stretches of open field that separate the encroaching edges of suburban growth.

About This Earlysville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Earlysville, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.154569, -78.468933. 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 Earlysville includes the ZIP code (22936), telephone area code (540), county seat of Albemarle County (Charlottesville), and school district assignment (Albemarle 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.
