How to Use This Snow Hill, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Snow Hill, North Carolina. 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 to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).

Drag the map to pan to any area of North Carolina or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Snow Hill and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

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. 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 Snow Hill.

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 Snow Hill, North Carolina

Snow Hill is a locality in Perquimans County, North Carolina, United States. Snow Hill is located at 36.2704°N, 76.5697°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 28580.0.

Snow Hill lies nestled in the fertile coastal plain of North Carolina, a landscape defined by the gentle, persistent curve of the Neuse River. It lies 17.8 miles west of Elizabeth City, NC (from Elizabeth City, NC: bearing 265°T), and is situated 14.8 miles north of Edenton. The land itself breathes a verdant, almost languid air, where the rich, dark soil yields readily to cultivation. Cypress and tupelo stand sentinel along the waterways, their roots gripping the soft earth, while the fields beyond stretch out in broad, sun-drenched squares of green and gold, punctuated by the stoic forms of scattered farmhouses. The air here, particularly in the languid afternoons of late summer, carries a subtle, earthy sweetness, a perfume of damp earth and ripening crops that clings to the skin. The history of Snow Hill is deeply entwined with the agricultural bounty of its surroundings, particularly the cultivation of tobacco and cotton, crops that once shaped the very rhythm of life and the local economy. The town itself, though modest, carries the quiet dignity of generations who have worked this land, their stories whispered in the creak of old porch swings and the well-worn paths leading to the river. The Neuse River, a broad, unhurried artery, has long served as both a vital conduit for commerce and a serene backdrop for the unfolding lives of Snow Hill's residents, its waters reflecting the ever-changing moods of the sky and the enduring character of this place.

About This Snow Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Snow Hill, North Carolina — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 36.270434, -76.569668. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service, with current observations and a 7-day forecast also powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while a Wikipedia summary or an editorially written description provides background on Snow Hill and Perquimans County.

Detailed location data for Snow Hill includes the ZIP code (27016), telephone area code (919, 984, 910), county seat of Perquimans County (Hertford), and school district assignment (Greene County Schools). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any US city or town.

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 — ensuring the correct Snow Hill is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
