How to Use This Fleeton, Virginia Map

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

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 Fleeton, Virginia

Fleeton is a locality in Northumberland County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Fleeton is located at 37.8151°N, 76.2811°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22539, 22443.

Fleeton emerges from the low, marshy expanse of the Northern Neck where the land seems perpetually engaged in a slow, patient negotiation with the encroaching tides. It lies 40.5 miles north-northeast of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 17°T), and is situated 20.6 miles south-southeast of Saint Marys. Cockrell Creek cuts a serpentine path through the landscape, its dark, brackish waters serving as the primary artery for a terrain defined by flat, salt-scrubbed horizons and the humid breath of Fleeton Bay. A short distance away, the protected wetlands of Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve offer a sanctuary where the silence is broken only by the rhythmic rustle of cordgrass and the distant cry of gulls. While the distant silhouette of West Ridge hints at a more rugged elevation far to the west, the local geography remains resolutely horizontal, anchored by the quiet, freshwater depths of Ingram Millpond and the occasional appearance of Bamboo Island rising like a green ghost from the shallows.

Fleeton retains a character forged by the relentless cycles of the watermen, a place where the economy has long been tethered to the harvest of the bay and the shifting fortunes of the maritime trade. Historical remnants of canning houses and boatyards still cling to the shoreline, standing as weathered monuments to a time when the pulse of the local industry was measured entirely by the abundance of the catch. The pace of life here is dictated by the turning of the tide rather than the frantic demands of the mainland, fostering a culture of self-reliance that remains largely indifferent to the encroaching sprawl of the modern world. In the quiet evenings, the air carries a briny, metallic scent that feels as ancient as the soil, reminding any observer that Fleeton exists in a delicate, shifting state of grace between the solid earth and the vast, gray reaches of the bay.

About This Fleeton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fleeton, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.815131, -76.281055. 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 Fleeton includes the ZIP code (22539, 22443), telephone area code (540), county seat of Northumberland County (Heathsville), and school district assignment.

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.
