Explore Carrabelle, 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 Carrabelle, 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 Carrabelle.
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.

Carrabelle unfolds where the dark, tannin-stained currents of the Carrabelle River surrender their inland secrets to the salt-heavy breath of the Gulf of Mexico. It lies 46.5 miles south-southwest of Tallahassee, FL (from Tallahassee, FL: bearing 210°T), and is situated 15.2 miles east-northeast of Eastpoint. The landscape here is defined by a low, humid horizon where the dense, tangled undergrowth of Tate's Hell State Forest presses against the edges of civilization, creating a border of cypress and pine that seems to hold the sky at a distance. Beyond the river mouth, the low profile of Timber Island emerges from the tides like a smudge of charcoal against the blue-gray water, while the air maintains a persistent, subtropical weight that softens the edges of the palmetto scrub. Sunlight does not merely illuminate this terrain; it saturates it, turning the late afternoon into a bruised, golden stillness that makes the very atmosphere feel thick enough to hold the weight of the coming evening.
Carrabelle carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the rhythms of the water, its economy long anchored by the steady harvest of the sea and the resilience of those who navigate its unpredictable currents. The history of the harbor remains etched in the weathered pilings and the ghosts of wooden hulls, a legacy of maritime labor that persists despite the shifting demands of modern industry. While Sugar Hill rises in the distance as a silent, distant sentinel, the daily life of the population remains tethered to the docks and the slow, deliberate movement of boats returning with their catch. To spend time here is to observe a world where the clock is secondary to the tide, and where the persistent, humid stillness is punctuated only by the occasional cry of a gull or the rhythmic slap of water against the pier.

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.
