Explore Lowes Island, 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 Lowes Island, 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 Lowes Island.
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.

Lowes Island occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth rises in subtle, rhythmic swells that hold the morning light in a soft, golden suspension. It lies 1.3 miles east-northeast of Sugarland Run, VA (from Sugarland Run, VA: bearing 64°T), and is situated 9.6 miles southwest of Montgomery. Sugarland Run traces a winding path through the local terrain, offering a cool, reflective presence just a mile from the center of the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate canopy of trees, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the western horizon on clear days. Residents often find solace in the expansive grounds of Algonkian Regional Park, which defines the northern boundary of the landscape. The atmosphere here remains grounded in the quiet transition between the dense woodlands and the open, groomed spaces that characterize the local topography.
Lowes Island carries the weight of a long regional memory, reflecting the shift from agrarian roots to the modern professional landscape of the surrounding corridor. The local economy has evolved from its historical reliance on the land to a focus on the technology and service sectors that define the current era. This economic transformation has brought a steady, purposeful pace to the daily life of the residents who live and work in the vicinity. While the landscape has been reshaped by modern development, the underlying soil retains the character of the older, rural Piedmont. Industry in the area is now largely defined by the quiet efficiency of office campuses and the steady movement of a workforce engaged in the regional economy.
Lowes Island fosters a culture of refined reserve, where the daily rhythm is dictated by the passage of seasons through the local woodland. Notable landmarks include the expansive fairways of private clubs that mirror the green, undulating character of the countryside. Residents frequently seek out the Paw Paw Passage Trail for recreation, enjoying the quiet solitude of the path as it winds through the regional greenery. The proximity to the dramatic rock formations of Mather Gorge provides a stark, geological contrast to the otherwise gentle terrain of the neighborhood. While the area is not known as a residence for widely famous individuals, the community thrives on a collective spirit of privacy and professional dedication. Broad Run Lake provides a serene focal point for those seeking a quiet moment of reflection away from the main thoroughfares.

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.
