How to Use This Fairview, Virginia Map

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

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 Fairview, Virginia

Fairview is a locality in Northampton County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 237. The population density is 86.0 people per km². Fairview is located at 36.8292°N, 78.4653°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 24244, 22454, 24382.

Fairview holds a quiet vigilance over the low, silt-rich plains where the dark, meandering ribbon of Old Plantation Creek carves its path toward the sea. It lies 23.0 miles east-northeast of Poquoson, VA (from Poquoson, VA: bearing 64°T), and is situated 28.6 miles north of Virginia Beach. The air here remains heavy with the scent of salt marsh and damp earth, a reminder that the open water of Bay Creek Marina waits only two miles to the east. A mile to the west, the surface of Long Pond catches the flat, pale light of late afternoon, reflecting the sky in a mirror of unbroken gray. On the distant horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Castle Ridge offers a subtle contrast to the otherwise level horizon, while the proximity of Sandy Island and the protected reaches of Cape Charles ensure that the landscape retains a wild, unhurried composure.

Fairview traces its internal pulse to the rhythms of the soil and the seasonal shift of the tides, grounding its economy in the enduring patterns of coastal harvest and agrarian patience. The memory of the land is deep, marked by the legacy of those who first cleared these fields and looked toward the water for their livelihood. Life in Fairview proceeds with a deliberate cadence, where the daily transit of laboring trucks and the turning of the seasons take precedence over the rush of the modern world. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the expansive, open terrain of Old Plantation Flats stretches out, serving as a reminder of the vast, quiet space that defines the character of this corner of the coast.

About This Fairview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairview, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.829244, -78.465344. 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 Fairview includes the ZIP code (24244, 22454, 24382), telephone area code (276), county seat of Northampton County (Eastville), and school district assignment (Mecklenburg 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.
