How to Use This Mount Sidney, Virginia Map

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

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 Mount Sidney, Virginia

Mount Sidney is a locality in Augusta County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 678. The population density is 157.6 people per km². Mount Sidney is located at 38.2550°N, 78.9713°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 24467.

Mount Sidney occupies a quiet stretch of limestone-rich earth where the horizon is dominated by the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It lies 9.6 miles northeast of Staunton, VA (from Staunton, VA: bearing 39°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south of Bridgewater. Broad Run carves a modest path through the surrounding fields, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-slung patience that reflects the shifting sky. To the west, the land dips into the shadowed folds of Thackers Hollow, creating a topography of gentle, sun-drenched swells and sudden, cool depressions. The air here holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the light turns the color of dried wheat and settles firmly against the silos and fence lines, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and entirely present.

Mount Sidney retains the steady, industrious pulse of a place shaped by generations of agrarian stewardship and the persistent labor of the valley. While the Weyers Cave Recreation Center offers a modest space for communal gathering nearby, the local rhythm is dictated more by the turning of the seasons and the demands of the surrounding fields than by outside clamor. The history of the region lingers in the quiet permanence of the architecture, where the legacy of early inland settlement persists in the heavy timber and fieldstone foundations. Life remains tethered to the land, far removed from the churn of the coast, finding its center in the reliable, slow-moving work that keeps the valley tethered to its own unique identity.

About This Mount Sidney Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mount Sidney, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.254993, -78.971323. 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 Mount Sidney includes the ZIP code (24467), telephone area code (540), county seat of Augusta County (Staunton), and school district assignment (Augusta 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.
