How to Use This Southampton, Virginia Map

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

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 Southampton, Virginia

Southampton is a locality in Southampton County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Southampton is located at 36.8921°N, 76.3888°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 23837, 23866.

Southampton reveals itself as a landscape of flat, fertile earth where the quiet pulse of the Piedmont transition dictates the slow turn of the seasons. It lies 30.1 miles west of Suffolk, VA (from Suffolk, VA: bearing 270°T), and is situated 11.9 miles west-northwest of Franklin. The Joyner Branch carves a subtle, winding path through the soil, its waters mirroring the heavy, humid sky that often settles over the fields in the late afternoon. Beyond the immediate canopy, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains remains a faint, hazy suggestion on the horizon, too far to claim the weather but present enough to define the wider scope of the world. Four miles away, the Cypress Bridge State Natural Area Preserve offers a sanctuary of tangled growth and quiet, while the waters of McGraphs Pond sit motionless under a high, pale sun, harboring the stillness of an inland basin far removed from the churn of any distant coast.

Southampton carries the weight of a long agrarian tenure, where the economy has shifted from the labor-intensive crops of the past to the methodical cultivation of timber and row crops that define the character of the region. The proximity to Big Woods State Forest provides a sprawling expanse of pine and hardwood that dictates the pace of life, keeping the rhythm of the days tied to the cycle of planting and harvest. There is a distinct sobriety in the local architecture and the way the roads trace the boundaries of old land grants, marking a history that prefers to remain understated rather than boastful. Life here moves with the deliberate gravity of a place that has seen its industries evolve, yet the identity of Southampton remains anchored to the dark, productive dirt and the persistent, quiet endurance of its people.

About This Southampton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Southampton, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.8920924, -76.3888338. 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 Southampton includes the ZIP code (23837, 23866), telephone area code (804), county seat of Southampton County (Courtland), 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.
