How to Use This Orkney Springs, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Orkney Springs, 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 Orkney Springs.
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 Orkney Springs, Virginia
Orkney Springs is a locality in Shenandoah County, Virginia, United States. The population density is 6.9 people per km². Orkney Springs is located at 38.7954°N, 78.8145°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22845, 22810.Orkney Springs emerges from the rugged terrain like a long-held breath, defined by the persistent, winding course of Saltpeter Run that carves through the verdant landscape. It lies 24.1 miles north of Harrisonburg, VA (from Harrisonburg, VA: bearing 7°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-northwest of Mount Jackson. The deep woods of George Washington National Forest press close against the perimeter, their timbered ridges casting long shadows that cool the earth well before the sun dips behind the distant, hazy peaks of the Shenandoah Mountains. Broad Hollow stretches out to the east, a wide and quiet basin where the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp loam and pine, and the nearby waters of Lake Carroll mirror the shifting sky in a glass of dark, undisturbed stillness.
Orkney Springs preserves the architectural ghost of a grander era, its timber-framed structures standing as quiet witnesses to a history rooted in the pursuit of mineral-rich waters and the restorative stillness of the highlands. Once a thriving destination for travelers seeking the supposed curative properties of the earth, the locality now maintains a slower pace, its economy shifting from the bustle of seasonal resort life to the quiet stewardship of its historic grounds and the surrounding wilderness. Visitors may find their way onto the Hunkerson Gap Trail, where the ground is thick with the debris of seasons past, offering a passage into the quiet solitude that has defined Orkney Springs since its earliest days of settlement.

About This Orkney Springs Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Orkney Springs, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.795391, -78.814467. 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 Orkney Springs includes the ZIP code (22845, 22810), telephone area code (540), county seat of Shenandoah County (Woodstock), and school district assignment (Shenandoah 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.
