How to Use This Ivy, Virginia Map

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

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 Ivy, Virginia

Ivy is a locality in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 917. The population density is 150.0 people per km². Ivy is located at 38.0565°N, 78.5967°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22903, 22945, 22901.

Ivy emerges from the landscape as a series of verdant rises and quiet basins, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Little Ivy Creek. It lies 6.8 miles west-northwest of Charlottesville, VA (from Charlottesville, VA: bearing 286°T), and is situated 5.7 miles east of Crozet. The air here holds a particular weight, cooling rapidly at dusk as shadows stretch from the distant Blue Ridge Mountains to settle over the pastures. Sunlight fractures against the dense canopy of hardwoods, illuminating the deep, iron-rich soil that characterizes this Piedmont terrain. A short distance away, the stillness of the South Fork Rivanna River Reservoir offers a stark, reflective counterpoint to the movement of the creek, while the dense, protected wilderness of the Ragged Mountain Natural Area preserves the rugged character of the earth that lies beyond the developed clearings.

Ivy persists as a quiet intersection of agrarian tradition and modern residential life, reflecting a long memory of colonial settlement that once relied on the fertile promise of the surrounding earth. The local economy has shifted from the labor of the soil to a quiet, professional rhythm, yet the legacy of the land remains etched into the property lines and the slow, deliberate pace of the lanes. Travelers passing through Quick Hollow might catch the scent of damp earth and woodsmoke, a sensory reminder of the cycles that have governed this place for generations. Despite the encroaching influence of modern transit, Ivy maintains a distinct focus on the preservation of its open spaces, choosing to anchor its identity in the enduring, unadorned beauty of the inland woods and the steady, unsung work of its waterways.
