Explore Lee, 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 Lee, 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 Lee.
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.

Lee defines itself through the steady, inexorable movement of the James River, which carves a deep, serpentine path through the landscape of the Piedmont. It lies 11.5 miles west-southwest of Short Pump, VA (from Short Pump, VA: bearing 257°T), and is situated 9.6 miles north-northwest of Moseley. The horizon toward the west holds the faint, bruised-purple silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, visible only when the humidity of the afternoon relents into a crisp, thin clarity. Five miles away, the quiet waters of Horseshoe Pond provide a still counterpoint to the restless river, while the wooded expanse of the T. Brady Saunders Boy Scout Camp maintains a dense, unbroken canopy of oak and hickory. In the height of summer, the air here is heavy and sweet with the scent of damp earth and cooling leaf mold, a reminder that the land is perpetually drinking from the nearby riverbeds.
Lee carries the weight of a long-settled interior, where the patterns of colonial agriculture once dictated the very shape of the roads and property lines. The economy, having shifted away from the intensive tobacco cycles of earlier centuries, now balances a quiet persistence of small-scale industry with the encroaching hum of modern regional development. Life moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, marked by the changing light on the river and the seasonal migrations through the surrounding timberlands. There is a profound sense of continuity in the way the local architecture keeps its face to the road, holding onto a style that values sturdy brick and practical function over the fleeting trends of the outer suburbs.

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.
