How to Use This Locust Mount, Virginia Map

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

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.

Locust Mount reveals itself as a low-slung expanse where the salt-heavy air of the Atlantic constantly softens the edges of the horizon. It lies 48.9 miles northeast of Poquoson, VA (from Poquoson, VA: bearing 46°T), and is situated 32.9 miles south-southwest of Pocomoke City. The landscape settles into a quiet, marshy patience, defined by the winding passage of Nickawampus Creek as it navigates toward the nearby coast. From the vantage of Wachapreague Park, the light at dusk takes on a bruised, pearlescent quality, reflecting off the water to illuminate the flat fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Ames Ridge. The terrain feels ancient and porous, a place where the line between the saturated earth and the encroaching tides remains perpetually blurred, and where the silence is broken only by the rhythmic pull of the sea from the direction of Wachapreague Marina.

Locust Mount persists as a quiet witness to the enduring patterns of an economy built on the harvest of the tides and the long, slow cycles of the soil. Local life is tethered to the water, echoing a history of maritime labor that remains visible in the weathered docks and the steady, unpretentious industry of the shore. While the land is far removed from the inland heights of the state, it possesses a distinct, solitary character shaped by its isolation from the bustle of modern corridors. Residents look toward the distant presence of Cedar Island as a reminder of the shifting boundaries of their geography, while Tankard Pond sits five miles inland, a calm, freshwater contrast to the brackish currents that define the daily existence of Locust Mount.
