Explore Gloucester Point, Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gloucester Point, 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 Gloucester Point.
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.

Gloucester Point maintains a quiet presence upon the inland plains where the light at dusk settles in long, amber ribbons across the fields. It lies 9.3 miles north-northwest of Tabb, VA (from Tabb, VA: bearing 347°T), and is situated 8.0 miles northeast of Fort Eustis. The landscape surrounding Gloucester Point is defined by a gentle, undulating topography that suggests the slow passage of time rather than the sudden drama of high peaks. One might observe the subtle movement of Sarah Creek as it winds through the low-lying terrain only a mile from the center of the locality. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon is punctuated by the distant silhouette of Blackwalnut Ridge, which anchors the western view. Residents often find respite in the quiet greenery of Tyndall Park, an essential space for local recreation that remains integral to the rhythm of the day.

Early settlement patterns established a tradition of land stewardship that continues to influence how the local industries organize their operations today. While modern commerce has introduced new avenues for growth, the core of the economy remains tied to the deliberate pace of inland trade and small-scale enterprise. The proximity of Roosevelt Pond, located just two miles away, serves as a reminder of the vital role that local water sources play in maintaining the health of the surrounding acreage. This balance between traditional land use and contemporary needs gives Gloucester Point a distinct, grounded identity.

Community gatherings often center on the landmarks that define the neighborhood, providing a common ground for residents to interact and celebrate their regional identity.

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.
