How to Use This Whitesville, Virginia Map

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

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.

Whitesville sustains a quiet, salt-brined existence where the flat, sandy lowlands meet the persistent pull of the Atlantic tides. It lies 58.5 miles northeast of Gloucester Point, VA (from Gloucester Point, VA: bearing 51°T), and is situated 18.7 miles southwest of Chincoteague. The landscape surrounding Whitesville remains defined by the brackish reach of Lee Mont Branch, a waterway that snakes through the marshy soil before emptying toward the open coastline five miles to the east. To the west, the subtle rise of The Ridge serves as a dark, distant anchor against the horizon, providing a backdrop to the expansive, open sky that hangs over the region. Moisture clings to the air here, cooling the afternoon heat and casting a pearlescent sheen over the nearby reeds of the Marks and Jacks Islands State Natural Area Preserve, where the wind hums a low, constant note through the tall grasses.

Agriculture and the harvesting of the coastal waters have long dictated the rhythm of labor in Whitesville, anchoring the economy to the seasonal migrations of the tides and the fertility of the surrounding soil. While the town remains small, the legacy of its early settlers persists in the weathered wood of older structures and the steady, unadorned work ethic of those who still look toward Dix Cove for their livelihood. Residents often seek the stillness of Bundick Pond when the heat of the summer solstice settles heavily over the fields, finding a sharp, reflective clarity in the dark water. The pace of life here moves with the deliberate patience of a turning season, reflecting a history that values the endurance of the land over the fleeting ambitions of the modern era.

About This Whitesville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Whitesville, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.781571, -75.66365. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
