How to Use This Forestville, Virginia Map

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

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 Forestville, Virginia

Forestville emerges from the limestone-heavy earth of the Shenandoah Valley as a quiet intersection of pastoral stillness and geological depth. It lies 20.0 miles north-northeast of Harrisonburg, VA (from Harrisonburg, VA: bearing 23°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northeast of Broadway. Holmans Creek carves a persistent, silver-threaded path through the fields, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of an inland sky that feels vast and unencumbered by the weight of the distant coast. To the west, the Shenandoah Mountains rise in muted shades of violet and charcoal, pinning the horizon against the sky, while the nearby basin of Jones Hollow offers a slight, verdant depression in the land that catches the morning mist. Only four miles away, the quiet stillness of Cold Spring Pond provides a reflexive surface for the surrounding hardwoods, grounding the landscape in a stillness that persists through the changing seasons.

Forestville maintains a character defined by the slow, deliberate pulse of agricultural life and the geological wonders that lie beneath the topsoil. The proximity to Shenandoah Caverns Inc serves as a reminder of the subterranean architecture that defines this region, drawing visitors to the silent, stone-wrought chambers hidden under the surface of the fields. Economic life here remains tied to the cultivation of the land, with local enterprises often echoing the rhythms of the seasons rather than the frantic pace of the modern corridor. Those seeking more rugged terrain often venture toward the Hunkerson Gap Trail, where the paths cut through the dense thickets and provide a vantage point over the rural expanse. In this corner of the Commonwealth, the days proceed with a steady, earned gravity, mirroring the ancient, enduring stability of the rock and soil that sustain the population.

About This Forestville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Forestville, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.715116, -78.722242. 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 Forestville includes the ZIP code (22847), telephone area code (540), county seat of Shenandoah County (Woodstock), and school district assignment (Shenandoah 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.
