How to Use This McKenney, Virginia Map

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

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.

McKenney emerges from the flat, pine-shadowed expanse of the Virginia interior, where the stillness of the Piedmont earth defines the horizon. It lies 24.3 miles southwest of Petersburg, VA (from Petersburg, VA: bearing 227°T), and is situated 16.4 miles east-southeast of Blackstone. Smith Creek traces a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its dark waters carving through soil that has held the weight of generations. On clear mornings, the air carries a crispness that suggests the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains far to the west, though the immediate terrain remains dominated by dense stands of timber and fields that stretch toward the sky. Three miles away, the quiet surface of Mckenney Hunt Club Lake reflects the shifting clouds, providing a mirror for the hawks that circle above the canopy. The light here settles heavily in the late afternoon, turning the dust of unpaved tracks into a fine, copper-colored haze that lingers long after the sun dips below the tree line.

McKenney maintains a steady, internal focus, rooted in the legacy of agricultural trade and the steady transit of commerce that once relied upon the iron rails intersecting the land. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the industrious nature of those who manage the surrounding tracts, with the nearby WBWF Property serving as a sanctuary for the local fauna that move through the brush. Life in McKenney moves in accordance with the turning seasons, a quiet persistence that ignores the frantic pace of the modern world in favor of porch-side observations and the maintenance of family acreage. There is a marked absence of pretense in the way the local structures weather the humidity and the frost, standing as pragmatic sentinels of a culture built on land stewardship and quiet resolve.

About This McKenney Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McKenney, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.986816, -77.723049. 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 McKenney includes the ZIP code (23872), telephone area code (804), county seat of Dinwiddie County (Dinwiddie), and school district assignment (Dinwiddie County Public Schools).

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.
