How to Use This Wattsville, Virginia Map

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

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 Wattsville, Virginia

Wattsville is a locality in Accomack County, Virginia, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,341. The population density is 120.7 people per km². Wattsville is located at 37.9340°N, 75.4996°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 23415, 23483, 23337.

Wattsville occupies a low-lying expanse of the Eastern Shore, where the landscape dissolves into a mosaic of marshes and reclaimed agricultural fields. It lies 15.9 miles south-southwest of Worcester, MD (from Worcester, MD: bearing 193°T), and is situated 6.6 miles west of Chincoteague. The Wattsville Branch winds sluggishly through the terrain, its dark, silt-heavy waters carving a narrow path toward the horizon, while the mirror-like surface of Wallops Pond remains a constant, glassy presence at the center of the local geography. Beyond the immediate fields, the air carries a persistent salinity, a reminder that the open water of Watts Bay lies only a few miles to the east. On clear days, the distant, hazy silhouette of Bailey Ridge barely registers against the sky, a faint suggestion of elevation that contrasts sharply with the flat, expansive horizon of Doghead Flat. The light here has a way of lingering, turning the marsh grasses a bruised, metallic gold as the sun retreats toward the mainland.

Wattsville maintains an existence defined by the quiet industry of the coastal plains and the seasonal migration of life across the nearby Wallops Island National Wildlife Refuge. While the economy has long been tied to the rhythms of the soil and the nearby water, the presence of the refuge creates a sanctuary where the quiet is broken only by the call of shorebirds or the distant, rhythmic hum of progress from the coast. Travelers passing through the region might catch sight of Ballast Tump rising from the water, a silent sentinel that has watched over these tides for generations. Life in Wattsville moves with a measured, deliberate pace, indifferent to the frantic speed of the wider world, favoring instead the steady persistence of those who live between the riverbanks and the salt air.
