How to Use This Woodlawn, Virginia Map

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

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.

Woodlawn unfolds across a landscape of quiet, agrarian expanse where the horizon is defined by the steady, unadorned presence of the inland plains. It lies 1.7 miles north-northwest of Colonial Heights, VA (from Colonial Heights, VA: bearing 347°T), and is situated 2.9 miles north-northwest of Petersburg. Oldtown Creek carves a narrow, rhythmic path through the earth, its water reflecting the pale, shifting light of a sky that seems to stretch further here than in the crowded corridors of the north. At Lakeview Park, the air holds a stillness that speaks to the surrounding woodlands, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the far western boundary of the world. The soil here is heavy and dark, sustaining a terrain that favors the slow growth of timber and the patient cultivation of fields that have remained largely unchanged by the frantic pace of modern expansion.

Woodlawn carries a weight of memory within its boundaries, a history defined by the steady labor of those who worked the land long before the reach of Pocahontas State Forest became a fixed reference for the region. The economy remains tethered to this legacy, favoring agricultural traditions and localized trade that move at the speed of the seasons rather than the clock. Life in Woodlawn is measured by the transition of the light across the fields and the seasonal maintenance of the land, leaving little room for the artifice of industrial centers. Four miles to the north, the quiet surface of Andrews Pond serves as a mirror for the changing foliage, a silent witness to the generations that have built their lives in the shadow of these hills, finding a deliberate, grounded contentment in the permanence of the earth.

About This Woodlawn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woodlawn, Virginia. Coordinates: 36.738767, -80.809459. 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 Woodlawn includes the ZIP code (24153, 24381, 22405), telephone area code (540, 703, 571), county seat of Colonial Heights (city), and school district assignment (Carroll County 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.
