How to Use This Long Branch, Virginia Map

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

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 Long Branch, Virginia

Long Branch is a locality in Caroline County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 7,890. The population density is 1232.8 people per km². Long Branch is located at 38.8305°N, 77.2700°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22580, 22032.

Long Branch occupies a quiet expanse of the Piedmont where the earth rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It lies 8.8 miles south-southeast of Fredericksburg, VA (from Fredericksburg, VA: bearing 155°T), and is situated 4.3 miles south-southeast of Massaponax. The air here holds a heavy, lingering stillness, especially at dusk when the light turns the color of bruised peaches against the treeline. Ware Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the dense thickets just a mile from the center of Long Branch, its water moving with a dark, muted urgency over smooth stones and silt. Two miles away, the Alexander Berger Memorial Sanctuary provides a sanctuary for quiet observation, where the Gracik Trail cuts through the undergrowth, inviting those who walk it to listen to the shifting of dry leaves and the occasional, sharp call of a hawk circling above the canopy.

History in Long Branch feels less like a record of events and more like the slow accumulation of soil, where the remnants of agrarian life are still visible in the rusted wire fences and the stubborn persistence of old-growth oaks. The local economy persists in a state of understated industry, moving at the pace of the seasons rather than the frantic tick of a clock, with the nearby Bitzner Meadow serving as a reminder of the vast, open agricultural character that once defined the wider region. Residents often find their way toward Meadow Creek Pond on weekends, where the water reflects the sky with an almost glass-like clarity, offering a place to watch the afternoon pass in silence. Life here is defined by this proximity to the land, a persistent awareness of the changing weather and the deep, quiet gravity of the interior plains.

About This Long Branch Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Long Branch, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.830539, -77.269975. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
