How to Use This Henry, Virginia Map

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

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 Henry, Virginia

Henry is a locality in Henry County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Henry is located at 36.8293°N, 79.9917°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 24054, 24102.

Henry anchors itself firmly within the quiet expanse of the Piedmont, where the land rises in long, deliberate swells of red clay and dense woodland. It lies 8.1 miles east of Martinsville, VA (from Martinsville, VA: bearing 97°T), and is situated 19.5 miles west-northwest of Danville. Sunlight here possesses a heavy, amber quality in the late afternoon, catching the dust of unpaved shoulders and turning the deep greens of the forest canopy into a muted, burnished bronze. Mill Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the soil nearby, its waters moving with a persistent, low murmur that underscores the stillness of the surrounding fields. Far to the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally breaks the horizon, serving as a distant reminder of the rugged terrain that defines this broader reach of the country.

Henry maintains a character forged by the steady, labor-intensive legacies of the region, where the economy has shifted from the slow toil of the fields toward the modern precision of light manufacturing and local commerce. The rhythm of daily life is measured not by the clock, but by the seasonal change in the air and the maintenance of the roads that link the neighborhood to the wider world. Residents often gather for recreation at the Smith River Sports Complex, a space that provides a communal focus for the vitality of the local youth and the engagement of the families who call the area home. While the larger waters of Philpott Lake remain a distant destination for weekend travelers, the people of Henry find their own sense of place in the immediate, familiar horizon of the woods and the quiet, industrious persistence of their own quiet corners.

About This Henry Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Henry, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.8293043, -79.9917065. 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 Henry includes the ZIP code (24054, 24102), telephone area code (540, 276), county seat of Henry County (Martinsville), 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.
