Explore Woodburn, Virginia, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Woodburn, 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 Woodburn.
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.

Woodburn occupies a quiet expanse of the Piedmont landscape, defined by the persistent flow of Accotink Creek as it carves a path through the local terrain. It lies 1.9 miles south-southwest of Merrifield, VA (from Merrifield, VA: bearing 195°T), and is situated 8.7 miles west-southwest of Arlington. This inland geography features a gentle topography where the earth rises into modest swells, far removed from the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the western horizon. Residents often find solace in the Accotink Stream Valley Park, which provides a verdant buffer of protected woodland right at their doorstep. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Lake Accotink offer a reflective surface that mirrors the changing colors of the sky. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and mature hardwoods, grounding the daily experience of Woodburn in the steady, rhythmic cycles of the seasons.
Woodburn grew from the steady expansion of the regional economy, shifting over time from agricultural roots to the professional demands of the modern corridor. Early settlers favored the fertile soil and the reliable presence of Accotink Creek to support their modest homesteads and small-scale timber operations. As the years passed, the local focus transitioned toward the diverse service industries and corporate sectors that now define the professional landscape of this part of Virginia. While the pace of change has been significant, the underlying structure remains tied to the infrastructure that connects Woodburn to the broader regional network. The current economy relies on a blend of specialized commerce and residential development, creating a stable foundation that persists through shifting market trends.
Cultural life in Woodburn reflects a quiet, observant character that values the intersection of traditional regional hospitality and contemporary progress. The community maintains a strong identity, often centered around the shared stewardship of local natural assets like the Accotink Stream Valley Park. Though the area is largely residential, the proximity to the Chesapeake and Ohio Trail offers an accessible path for those who seek to engage with the wider natural history of the region. Notable figures have occasionally passed through these lands, yet the true strength of Woodburn lies in its focus on the everyday connections between neighbors. Evenings often bring a stillness that highlights the simple, unadorned beauty of the landscape, leaving residents to appreciate the quietude that defines their daily lives.

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.
