How to Use This Gloucester, Virginia Map

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

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 Gloucester, Virginia

Gloucester is a locality in Gloucester County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,800. The population density is 55.0 people per km². Gloucester is located at 37.4138°N, 76.5255°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 23061.

Gloucester maintains a quiet gravity, anchored by the dark, slow-moving waters of the Beaverdam Swamp that carve through the heavy clay of the inland landscape. It lies 11.1 miles north of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 352°T), and is situated 0.3 miles north-northeast of Gloucester Courthouse. The horizon remains stubbornly flat, lacking the jagged silhouette of Blackwalnut Ridge, which lingers only as a faint, distant memory far to the west. Sunlight in Gloucester often takes on a thick, honeyed quality at dusk, filtering through dense stands of hardwoods to illuminate the mossy floor of Brown Park. A short distance away, the stillness of Lee Pond reflects the changing sky, offering a mirror to the clouds that drift over the vast, verdant stretches of this rural interior.

History remains a persistent presence in Gloucester, where the legacy of early colonial agriculture persists in the rhythm of the modern economy. Local life proceeds with a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of industrial centers, favoring instead the steady labor of forestry and specialized land management. While the echoes of the past are felt in the preservation of older architectural forms, the daily experience is defined by the practical necessity of a working landscape. Residents navigate a world of deep woods and open fields, where the transition from the seasonal harvest to the quietude of winter dictates the character of the day.
