How to Use This Rushmere, Virginia Map

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

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.

Rushmere rests upon a landscape of quiet, agrarian patience, defined by the slow drainage of the land toward Lawnes Creek. It lies 12.7 miles west-southwest of Tabb, VA (from Tabb, VA: bearing 252°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north-northwest of Smithfield. The terrain here holds a subtle, muscular quality, characterized by thick stands of timber and deep, loamy soils that seem to absorb the humidity of the afternoon heat. To the west, the distant outline of Blackwalnut Ridge offers a faint, serrated edge against the sky, providing a structural anchor to a horizon otherwise dominated by the expansive, shifting patterns of light across the fields. Only two miles distant, the still, reflective surface of Slade Pond catches the amber glow of late day, serving as a dark, glassy counterpoint to the dense, green canopy of the surrounding woods.

Rushmere retains the character of an old agrarian settlement, where the rhythms of the local economy remain tethered to the health of the earth and the productivity of the surrounding acreage. History here is not merely a record of the past but a visible layer in the architecture of the land, visible in the enduring legacy of agricultural stewardship that persists just five miles away at Chippokes Plantation State Park. Those who wander the area may find themselves drawn toward the Lower Chippokes Creek Trail, a path that marks the intersection of human movement and the untamed persistence of the local flora. Life in Rushmere proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, reflecting a culture that values the quiet utility of the seasons and the enduring, fundamental stability of the interior plains.
