Explore Henrico, 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 Henrico, 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 Henrico.
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.

Henrico occupies a position upon the interior landscape where the land shifts from the heavy clay of the plains toward the subtle rise of the interior. It lies 43.2 miles east of Danville, VA (from Danville, VA: bearing 89°T), and is situated 19.5 miles north of Oxford. The Little Beaver Pond Creek traces a quiet path through the terrain, its water reflecting the muted gold of late afternoon light. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the horizon, standing as a permanent, hazy reminder of the rugged geography beyond. Residents often look toward the John H. Kerr Reservoir, which provides a vast expanse of still water just a short distance from the local bounds. The air here holds a stillness that defines the transition between the dense woodlands and the open, cultivated fields.
Henrico grew from early colonial foundations into a modern center where the rhythm of commerce now dictates the daily pace. The economy has matured from its agrarian origins into a sophisticated network of professional services, financial institutions, and specialized manufacturing that sustains the population. Development remains steady, as office parks and industrial corridors occupy the ground where tobacco once dominated the landscape. While the echoes of the past remain in the architecture and the layout of older roads, the focus of the workforce is directed toward the demands of the current century. This balance between historical memory and modern industry provides a stable framework for the people who live and work here.
Henrico maintains a character defined by a measured, deliberate way of life that values both tradition and progress. Visitors might explore the trails and natural quietude offered by the John H. Kerr Reservoir, a primary space for outdoor recreation. The area is a place of quiet focus, where citizens prioritize the maintenance of their neighborhoods and the quality of their local schools. Famous individuals such as the tennis legend Arthur Ashe were shaped by the environment of the region, carrying its influence into their wider professional lives. The pulse of the place is found in the everyday interactions of people gathering for community events or navigating the steady flow of life along the established thoroughfares.

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.
