How to Use This Potomac Mills, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Potomac Mills, 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 Potomac Mills.
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 Potomac Mills, Virginia
Potomac Mills is a locality in Westmoreland County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 6,332. The population density is 575.2 people per km². Potomac Mills is located at 38.6565°N, 77.2988°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 22520, 22192.Potomac Mills occupies a stretch of land defined by the steady, unassuming currents of Popes Creek, which carves a quiet path through the surrounding terrain. It lies 29.8 miles east-southeast of Fredericksburg, VA (from Fredericksburg, VA: bearing 109°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south of Colonial Beach. The landscape here is characterized by the modest elevation of the Piedmont, a region where the earth folds into subtle, verdant ridges that eventually fade toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Water plays a central role in the topography, as the still, reflective surface of Potomac Mills Pond anchors the immediate vicinity, catching the amber light of late afternoon and holding it against the deepening shadows of the woods. Only a short distance away, the grounds of George Washington Birthplace National Monument provide a sense of historical continuity, grounding the modern expanse in the long, agrarian legacy of the Old Dominion.
Economic life in Potomac Mills is defined by a distinct, high-energy rhythm that stands in contrast to the quietude of Owl Hollow or the solitude found along the Big Meadow Trail. This locality has evolved into a significant commercial hub, drawing travelers and residents alike to a dense network of retail and industry that serves as a modern engine for the region. Despite the pervasive hum of commerce, the atmosphere retains a certain composure, particularly as dusk settles over the parking lots and the sky turns a bruised, autumnal purple. The cultural character of the area is a mosaic of past and present, where the echoes of colonial history linger just beneath the surface of a bustling, pragmatic economy that keeps Potomac Mills moving forward with a steady, deliberate pace.

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.
