How to Use This New Kent, Virginia Map

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

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.

New Kent rests upon a landscape defined by the quiet accumulation of silt and the persistent, slow growth of hardwood forests that stretch across the Piedmont plain. It lies 19.2 miles east of Highland Springs, VA (from Highland Springs, VA: bearing 96°T), and is situated 19.6 miles east of Fort Lee. The terrain here holds a peculiar stillness, where the air thickens with the scent of damp earth and pine needles, particularly as one nears the banks of Holts Creek. Far to the west, the faint, bruised purple outline of the Blue Ridge Mountains occasionally haunts the horizon, though the immediate world remains one of level fields and dense, tangled undergrowth. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles, illuminating the marshy edges of the Cumberland Marsh Natural Area Preserve, where the shadows of tall grasses sway in a rhythmic, solitary dance. Four miles away, the surface of Cooks Millpond remains a dark, polished glass, reflecting the sky with a clarity that renders the surrounding woods into a symmetrical, mirrored twin.

New Kent maintains a character shaped by the long, heavy inheritance of colonial land grants and the slow, deliberate transition of an economy once bound to the soil. The legacy of tobacco and grain persists in the wide, open tracts of farmland that define the regional geometry, now punctuated by the quiet hum of modern logistics and residential growth. Life here moves with a measured intensity, prioritizing the permanence of local tradition over the frantic pulse of the nearby urban corridors. Residents observe the passing seasons with a practiced, watchful eye, recognizing that the landscape has been cultivated by generations whose labor is still etched into the property lines and the quiet, winding roads. This is a place where the passage of time is felt not through rapid change, but through the patient, recurring cycle of growth and harvest that anchors New Kent to its particular, inland geography.

About This New Kent Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Kent, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.509481, -76.986249. 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 New Kent includes the ZIP code (23124), telephone area code (804), county seat of New Kent County (New Kent), and school district assignment (New Kent 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.
