How to Use This Heathsville, Virginia Map

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

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 Heathsville, Virginia

Heathsville is a locality in Northumberland County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 136. The population density is 13.2 people per km². Heathsville is located at 37.9176°N, 76.4722°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 22473.

Heathsville holds the quiet stillness of the Virginia Tidewater, where the air clings with a humid, brine-scented weight that suggests the proximity of the distant salt-water coast. It lies 14.3 miles south-southwest of Saint Marys, MD (from Saint Marys, MD: bearing 204°T), and is situated 14.9 miles south-southwest of Ridge. Broad, flat plains of agricultural soil stretch toward the horizon, interrupted only by the slow, meandering pulse of the Coan River and the glassy, reflective surface of Clark Millpond. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, casting long, amber shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped away. Far to the west, the faint, ethereal blue silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains haunt the skyline, a reminder of the rugged heights that stand in stark contrast to the low-lying, marshy character of the immediate landscape.

Heathsville preserves the echoes of a colonial past within its grid, where brick courthouses and white-painted structures stand as quiet witnesses to generations of agrarian labor and mercantile trade. Life in Heathsville follows the tidal rhythm of the nearby Headly Cove, maintaining a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the urgency of the modern world. Local commerce remains tethered to the land and water, drawing sustenance from the timber and harvest that have long defined the regional economy, while the protected expanse of the Bush Mill Stream State Natural Area Preserve offers a sanctuary for the native flora and fauna. Beyond the reach of the distant Hog Island, the residents inhabit a geography defined by patience, where the historical memory of the Old Dominion remains as tangible as the soil beneath their feet.

About This Heathsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Heathsville, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.917632, -76.472174. 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 Heathsville includes the ZIP code (22473), telephone area code (540), county seat of Northumberland County (Heathsville), and school district assignment (Northumberland 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.
