How to Use This Newington, Virginia Map

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

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.

Newington is a locality in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of 13,223. The population density is 1114.2 people per km². Newington is located at 38.7341°N, 77.1979°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22079, 22122, 22153.

Newington occupies a quiet stretch of land where the pulse of the Piedmont region is felt in the steady movement of the Long Branch. It lies 2.6 miles east of Newington Forest, VA (from Newington Forest, VA: bearing 88°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west-southwest of Alexandria. The local geography is defined by a gentle, inland terrain that avoids the dramatic elevation of the distant Blue Ridge Mountains, visible only as a faint, hazy silhouette on the western horizon. Residents often look toward the nearby Hybla Valley to understand the natural drainage of this landscape, which remains distinct from any coastal influence. Within the immediate vicinity, the Levelle W. Dupell park provides a dedicated green space for the public to observe the changing light as it filters through the canopy. Those seeking the stillness of deeper waters find their way to Huntsman Lake, a modest expanse that anchors the local water table just a few miles away.

Newington emerged as a byproduct of the regional expansion that transformed the surrounding countryside from agrarian roots into a modern professional hub. The local economy has shifted from earlier agricultural pursuits to support a workforce deeply integrated into the administrative and technical sectors of the broader Virginia corridor. Industrial activity is largely concentrated in specialized logistics and light manufacturing, reflecting a practical approach to the demands of the modern commute. This evolution has preserved the structural integrity of the area, allowing the commercial landscape to grow without erasing the remnants of its mid-century development. While the pace of daily life is dictated by the rhythms of the regional workforce, the economy remains remarkably stable and grounded in its proximity to major transit arteries.

Newington maintains a reserved cultural character that values the privacy and relative quiet of its residential neighborhoods. The area serves as a functional center for those who appreciate the intersection of suburban utility and the preserved fragments of natural woodland. Notable landmarks are generally modest, favoring the practical needs of the population over monumental architecture or public spectacle. While no singular, world-renowned figures claim this specific soil as their primary historical origin, the residents contribute to a broad regional identity defined by the courteous professional norms of the Old Dominion. Local events often center around seasonal gatherings at community facilities, where the focus remains on personal connection rather than large-scale tourism. The atmosphere is one of deliberate normalcy, where the shifting seasons offer the primary change in a steady, predictable daily experience.
