Explore Pungoteague, Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pungoteague, 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 Pungoteague.
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.

Pungoteague draws its character from the winding, silt-heavy path of Nandua Creek, which carves a quiet passage through the low-lying fields and dense woodland. It lies 45.6 miles northeast of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 55°T), and is situated 33.6 miles south-southwest of Pocomoke City. The terrain here settles into a soft, humid flatness that gives way to the distant rise of Ames Ridge, a sliver of elevation on the horizon that breaks the monotony of the coastal plain. In the amber light of late afternoon, the air thickens with the scent of brackish water and pine, carrying a stillness that settles over Custis Pond and the surrounding marshy reaches. Beyond the immediate tree line, the land gradually yields to the salt-swept expanse of the coast, where the tides pull rhythmically toward the sheltered waters of Kusian Cove.
Pungoteague preserves the echoes of an early colonial imprint, standing as a quiet witness to the centuries that have shaped the economy of the Eastern Shore. The local livelihood has long been tied to the soil and the water, with agriculture and maritime tradition providing the bedrock for a way of life that values persistence over speed. Historical structures remain as subtle markers of a time when the port and the creek served as primary arteries for trade, though the pace has since slowed to the quiet hum of a rural landscape. Today, the proximity to the protected wilderness of Parkers Marsh State Natural Area Preserve serves as a reminder of the wilder edges of the peninsula, while the occasional shadow of a boat drifting toward Finneys Island marks the passage of a day defined more by the seasonal shift of the tide than by the clock.

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.
