How to Use This York, Virginia Map

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

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 York, Virginia

York is a locality in York County, Virginia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². York is located at 37.2104°N, 76.3869°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 23692.

York commands a low-lying horizon where the damp, salt-heavy air of the coast drifts inland to mingle with the scent of pine and rich earth. It lies 6.5 miles north-northwest of Poquoson, VA (from Poquoson, VA: bearing 340°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north-northeast of Tabb. The landscape around York is defined by a gentle, expansive flatness that gives way to the intricate, watery fringes of the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve - Virginia, which encompasses the immediate terrain. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Blackwalnut Ridge offers a singular vertical interruption to the otherwise level topography, while the Goodwin Islands sit like silent sentinels just offshore. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, silvered quality, catching the reeds and marsh grass as the tide pulls rhythmically toward the expanse of Thomas Marina.

York carries the weight of a long, colonial memory, its soil having been turned by centuries of labor that transitioned from early agrarian pursuits to the modern, diverse economy of the present day. The nearby waters of Back Creek have long dictated the pace of life, serving as a conduit for both commerce and the quiet, steady migration of local wildlife. While the low-lying basin of the Poquoson Flats remains a testament to the persistent influence of the water, inland excursions often lead toward the tranquil, mirror-still surface of Wormley Pond. Today, the residents of York navigate a reality where the preservation of historical integrity exists comfortably alongside the pragmatic demands of contemporary industry, maintaining a character that is as patient and deliberate as the slow drift of the currents.

About This York Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of York, Virginia. Coordinates: 37.210392, -76.38688. 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 York includes the ZIP code (23692), telephone area code (757), county seat of York County (Yorktown), and school district assignment.

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.
