Explore Amelia Island, Florida, 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 Amelia Island, Florida. 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 Florida 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 Amelia Island.
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.

Amelia Island captures the shifting light of the Atlantic, where the humid breath of the subtropics meets the salt-crusted edges of the earth. It lies 2.9 miles south of Fernandina Beach, FL (from Fernandina Beach, FL: bearing 175°T), and is situated 8.8 miles southeast of Saint Marys. The landscape is defined by a low, porous horizon where the earth yields to the tide and the air remains heavy with a briny, verdant stillness. A short distance away, the quiet flow of Kingsley Creek cuts through the marsh, its dark waters reflecting the palmetto scrub that thrives under the relentless sun. Inland, the gentle rise of McClure Hill offers a subtle variation in the flat terrain, a modest landmark in a region dominated by the rhythmic pull of the sea. Residents often watch the evening haze gather over the distant expanse of Nassau Sound, where the sky turns a bruised, singular purple before nightfall.
Amelia Island carries the weight of a complex history, having been claimed by eight different flags that left behind a layered, Spanish-colonial legacy. The local economy has evolved from the early days of maritime trade and shrimping into a modern blend of tourism and professional services. Industries here operate with a quiet efficiency, honoring the maritime heritage that once made these shores a vital northern gateway. Workers navigate the humid afternoons with a practiced ease, maintaining the delicate balance between preservation and the inevitable growth of a coastal commerce center. The rhythm of the workweek is dictated by the tides and the seasonal influx of visitors who seek the respite of the barrier sands. Even as the town modernizes, the legacy of its past remains visible in the architecture and the deliberate pace of the local markets.
Amelia Island fosters a cultural character shaped by a blend of Southern tradition and a persistent, island-bound independence. Visitors and residents alike find common ground at the Fernandina Beach Athletic Complex, a central hub for community life where the sounds of games often carry across the humid air. The island is noted for its preservation of historic districts, where the architecture stands as a testament to the influence of various eras rather than a singular style. Notable figures such as the author Robert Stone found a creative kinship with the atmosphere of these quiet, sun-bleached streets. Local events frequently celebrate the maritime roots of the region, drawing the public to the harborside to recognize the enduring connection to the water. Life here unfolds with a measured, contemplative quality, favoring the slow observation of the natural world over the frantic pace of the mainland.

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.
