How to Use This Ottobine, Virginia Map

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

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 Ottobine, Virginia

Ottobine is a locality in Rockingham County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Ottobine is located at 38.4315°N, 79.0395°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22821, 22851.

Ottobine emerges from the verdant, low-slung landscape of the Shenandoah Valley as a quiet intersection of rural industry and quiet, persistent earth. It lies 9.3 miles west of Harrisonburg, VA (from Harrisonburg, VA: bearing 262°T), and is situated 4.8 miles northwest of Bridgewater. Beaver Creek carves a path through the immediate terrain, its water moving with a steady, unpretentious purpose that dictates the slow drainage of the surrounding fields. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into the gentle, uneven contours of Wheelberger Hollow, while the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Shenandoah Mountains. The air here holds a distinct, heavy moisture that carries the scent of damp loam and pine needles, particularly near the edge of Paul State Forest, where the trees stand in dense, orderly ranks that define the northern boundary of the local geography.

Ottobine maintains a character defined by the agricultural rhythms of the valley, where the labor of the land has long dictated the movement of the day. The economic pulse of the locality remains tethered to the health of the soil and the quiet productivity of its residents, who have worked these tracts for generations. While the nearby Union Spring Hollow Lake offers a still, reflective reprieve from the work of the fields, the local pace is best measured by the seasonal shifts in the crops and the infrequent travelers who navigate toward the Mud Pond Gap Trail. There is a profound stillness in the way the light lingers over the pastures at dusk, a quality that suggests a place unbothered by the rapid acceleration of the modern world, preferring instead the consistency of the seasons and the sturdy, grounded reality of the valley floor.

About This Ottobine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ottobine, Virginia. Coordinates: 38.431514, -79.039476. 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 Ottobine includes the ZIP code (22821, 22851), telephone area code (540), county seat of Rockingham County (Harrisonburg), and school district assignment.

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.
