How to Use This Garrisonville, Virginia Map

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

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 Garrisonville, Virginia

Garrisonville is a locality in Stafford County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of 12,000. The population density is 680.0 people per km². Garrisonville is located at 38.4826°N, 77.4266°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22556, 22463.

Garrisonville occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of inland forests and the gentle slope of the Piedmont terrain. It lies 6.6 miles southwest of Triangle, VA (from Triangle, VA: bearing 228°T), and is situated 4.3 miles north-northwest of Stafford. The earth here holds a reddish tint, characteristic of the soil that anchors the dense woodlands and provides a firm foundation for the quiet life of the region. To the west, the distant Blue Ridge Mountains delineate the horizon in a soft, hazy violet during the final light of day. Nearby, the waters of Aquia Creek carve a narrow path through the geography, while the stillness of Smith Lake Reservoir provides a sanctuary for local wildlife. The environment remains grounded in these terrestrial features, far removed from the influence of any distant coastline.

Garrisonville reflects a history deeply rooted in the agricultural expansion of the Old Dominion, where early settlers recognized the value of the fertile, timber-rich plains. Over time, the local economy shifted from traditional farming to a more modern integration with the surrounding tech-corridor, drawing professionals who seek a balance between suburban growth and rural space. Commerce now flourishes through a mix of service-oriented industries and the logistical support required by the nearby military installations. This economic transformation has been gradual, allowing the character of the region to evolve without erasing the memory of its agrarian predecessors. Today, the steady hum of development serves as a modern counterpoint to the quiet, long-standing traditions of the local workforce.

Garrisonville maintains a character shaped by the intersection of transient populations and the enduring presence of long-term residents. The pace of daily life is measured by the changing seasons, which paint the local landscape in vivid colors, from the deep greens of summer to the muted, earthy tones of late autumn. Residents often seek recreation along the Chopawamsic Trail, where the shade of the canopy offers a reprieve from the afternoon heat. While the community lacks the clamor of a major metropolis, it possesses a distinct, unassuming vitality that manifests in local school events and seasonal gatherings. The influence of the broader region is felt in the courteous habits of the people, who carry the weight of Virginia’s long history with a quiet, practiced grace.

About This Garrisonville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Garrisonville, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.482624, -77.42665. 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 Garrisonville includes the ZIP code (22556, 22463), telephone area code (540), county seat of Stafford County (Stafford), 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.
