How to Use This Keswick, Virginia Map

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

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 Keswick, Virginia

Keswick is a locality in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 321. The population density is 62.2 people per km². Keswick is located at 38.0226°N, 78.3592°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 22947.

Keswick emerges from the verdant, undulating landscape of the Piedmont, where the land unfolds in deep greens and burnt umbers toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It lies 6.4 miles east of Charlottesville, VA (from Charlottesville, VA: bearing 94°T), and is situated 7.0 miles north of Lake Monticello. Carroll Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the fields as the afternoon wanes. To the west, the topography dips into the shadowed embrace of Rocky Hollow, while the wider horizon is punctuated by the stillness of open pastures and dense, ancient hardwoods. A traveler might find the air here carries a distinct, earthy weight—a scent of damp soil and drying hay that persists even when the sky turns a pale, translucent gray, grounding the senses in the physical reality of the earth.

Keswick sustains a rhythm dictated by the land, where the legacy of expansive estates and historic agrarian practices continues to shape the local economy and the quiet maintenance of the countryside. Beyond the private fences and bridle paths, the proximity of Darden Towne Park offers a communal space for those who seek the outdoors, while the occasional shimmer of Beaverdam Pond serves as a hidden anchor in the surrounding geography. Life here favors a deliberate pace, colored by a long memory of colonial architecture and the steady, unpretentious work of those who tend the soil. It is a place where the architecture of the past informs the present, and the daily affairs of the residents remain tethered to the slow, seasonal transition of the woods and the persistent, low hum of the creek.

About This Keswick Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Keswick, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.022639, -78.359175. 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 Keswick includes the ZIP code (22947), telephone area code (540), county seat of Albemarle County (Charlottesville), and school district assignment (Albemarle 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.
