Explore Mappsville, 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 Mappsville, 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 Mappsville.
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.

Mappsville unfolds across a flat, low-slung expanse where the horizon seems to stretch wider than the earth itself. It lies 22.8 miles south-southwest of Worcester, MD (from Worcester, MD: bearing 198°T), and is situated 15.9 miles south of Pocomoke City. Gum Branch carves a quiet, meandering path through the landscape, its dark waters reflecting the erratic flight of herons that frequent the marshy banks. To the east, the salt-heavy air carries the faint, rhythmic pulse of the tides from Oyster Bay, while the distant silhouette of Bailey Ridge provides a faint, muted edge to the western sky. On clear afternoons, the sunlight here possesses a strange, liquid clarity, turning the fields into a shimmering mirror that seems to dissolve the boundary between the soil and the sprawling Virginia heavens.
Agriculture remains the silent pulse of Mappsville, defined by cycles of planting and harvest that have persisted long after the early settlers first broke the stubborn, coastal-adjacent earth. The economy draws its resilience from the land and the nearby waters, with the proximity to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge acting as a sanctuary for both the migratory birds and the quiet, industrious spirit of the locals. Beyond the cultivated rows, the presence of Roman Rock serves as a solitary, weathered sentinel on the periphery of the coast, marking the transition toward the open water. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, anchored by the stillness of Bundick Pond and the enduring, quiet labor of those who know how to work the intersection of marsh, field, and sky.

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.
