How to Use This Hopewell, Virginia Map

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

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.

Hopewell maintains a quiet presence upon the inland plains where the persistent flow of Poythress Run carves a path through the regional landscape. It lies 7.9 miles east-northeast of Colonial Heights, VA (from Colonial Heights, VA: bearing 58°T), and is situated 8.2 miles northeast of Petersburg. The surrounding terrain reveals itself in modest undulations, far removed from the reach of salt air or coastal influence. Travelers seeking natural solitude find Fishpond resting three miles away, its surface often mirroring the muted tones of an overcast sky. On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the western horizon, reminding observers of the vast reach of the continent. Within the immediate vicinity, City Park offers a designated space for reflection, providing a respite where the afternoon light filters through the canopy of native trees.

Hopewell emerged from a legacy of early settlement, evolving through the centuries to become a center for modern industrial activity. The local economy draws its strength from a blend of manufacturing and chemical production, which have defined the labor patterns of the region for generations. Residents witness the steady rhythm of shift changes and the deliberate hum of machinery that anchors the daily cycle of work. Beyond the industrial borders, the nearby Pocahontas State Forest serves as a reminder of the dense, wilder woodlands that once dominated the interior landscape. The economic identity of Hopewell remains tethered to these sectors, reflecting a commitment to production that has sustained the area through shifting times.

Hopewell carries a distinct cultural character forged by its industrial longevity and the resilient spirit of those who call it home. The architecture of the older districts speaks to a time of rapid growth, while public spaces like City Park serve as focal points for local gatherings and community events. Notable figures such as the entertainer Joan Bennett have roots connected to this region, adding a thread of national recognition to the local narrative. Life here moves with a steady, predictable cadence, influenced by the proximity of The Slash and the quietude of the surrounding countryside. Residents often gather during seasonal celebrations, finding common ground in the traditions that distinguish Hopewell from the sprawling urban centers located further afield.

About This Hopewell Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hopewell, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.29101, -77.298944. 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 Hopewell includes the ZIP code (20198, 24549, 23860), telephone area code (276, 804), county seat of Hopewell (city), and school district assignment (Hopewell City 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.
