How to Use This Markham, Virginia Map

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

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 Markham, Virginia

Markham is a locality in Fauquier County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Markham is located at 38.9040°N, 78.0019°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 22643.

Markham emerges from the landscape as a quiet intersection of pastoral stillness and the rugged declivity of Stillhouse Hollow. It lies 10.4 miles east of Front Royal, VA (from Front Royal, VA: bearing 95°T), and is situated 6.7 miles southeast of Shenandoah Farms. The topography here is defined by the steady, unhurried flow of Goose Creek, which cuts through the earth with a persistence that shapes the character of the surrounding fields. While the Blue Ridge Mountains remain a distant, hazy silhouette against the western horizon, the immediate terrain feels intimate and grounded, marked by the dense, shadowed canopy of the Thompson Wildlife Management Area that anchors the eastern edge of the locality. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, amber clarity, catching the tall grasses and the low-hanging branches of hardwoods, turning the expansive meadows into a study of soft, shifting gold.

Markham maintains a deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of the modern tech corridor that hums miles to the east. The economy remains tethered to the land and the legacies of those who first cleared these woods, with a regional identity that favors the quiet preservation of open space over rapid development. Travelers often find their way here via the Belle Meade Linden Trail, a path that invites a slower appreciation for the terrain, or they seek the stillness offered by the banks of Digulin Pond, where the water mirrors the sky with glassy indifference. The history of the region lingers in the quietude of the roadsides, where the remnants of agricultural traditions persist alongside a modern, understated elegance, defining Markham as a place where the weight of the past is not a burden, but a steadying presence.

About This Markham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Markham, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.904, -78.001941. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Markham includes the ZIP code (22643), telephone area code (540), county seat of Fauquier County (Warrenton), and school district assignment.

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.
