How to Use This West Point, Virginia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Point, 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 West Point.
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.

West Point is located at 37.5523°N, 76.8018°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. West Point is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 23181.West Point emerges from the confluence of inland waterways as a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of its riparian corridors and the gentle, terrestrial reach of the Virginia plains. It lies 18.7 miles north-northwest of Williamsburg, VA (from Williamsburg, VA: bearing 345°T), and is situated 16.0 miles north of James City. West Point Creek carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its course marking the rhythm of a land that feels far removed from the sharp agitation of the coast, residing instead in a stillness born of deep, forested earth. The ambient light here possesses a singular, golden quality at dusk, filtering through the dense canopy of local timber to illuminate the dust motes and the steady, unhurried flow of the creek. Beyond the immediate banks, the expanse of Unknown Park offers a quiet sanctuary, a sprawl of greenery that anchors the local geography and maintains a steady, natural equilibrium against the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon.
Economic life in West Point pulses with the steady hum of industry, where the legacy of paper manufacturing remains a foundational thread in the local experience. This occupation of the land reflects a long-standing commitment to the regional timber trade, a pursuit that has shaped the physical character of the streets and the industrious nature of the populace. Life moves with an observant, measured quality, where the proximity of Davis Pond provides a localized stillness, a small, reflective mirror to the sky just a short distance from the primary thoroughfares. The character of the place is built upon this synthesis of manufacturing tradition and the quiet, agrarian patience of the inland plains, creating a distinct atmosphere where the past is not a spectacle, but a persistent, quiet weight that informs the daily work of the present.

About This West Point Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Point, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.552261, -76.801848. 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 West Point includes the ZIP code (23181), telephone area code (804), county seat of King William County (King William), and school district assignment (West Point Town Public Schools).
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.
