Explore Crescent City, 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 Crescent City, 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 Crescent City.
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.

Crescent City unfolds across a landscape defined by the heavy, humid breath of the subtropics, where palmetto scrub and tangled cypress define the horizon. It lies 16.9 miles south-southeast of Palatka, FL (from Palatka, FL: bearing 153°T), and is situated 15.6 miles south-southwest of Flagler Estates. The light at dusk here possesses a thick, amber quality, catching the moisture in the air until the world seems to glow with the warmth of a dying ember. Eva Lyons Park serves as the quiet center of the terrain, offering a patch of green permanence amidst the shifting shadows of the pines. Two miles away, the dark waters of Grimsley Cove pull at the edges of the land, while the distant, winding path of Jumping Gully Branch marks the slow passage of water through the low-lying woods. Further out, the surface of Cow Pond remains a still mirror, reflecting a sky that is frequently lit by the sharp, electric suddenness of summer storms.
Crescent City carries the weight of a long agricultural inheritance, where the soil has been coaxed for generations to yield the bounty of citrus groves. The rhythm of daily life moves with the deliberate pace of those who work the earth, a steady labor that remains indifferent to the hurried transit of the outside world. Beyond the groves, the legacy of the region is written in the silence of the landscape, punctuated by the occasional silhouette of Shell Mound rising in the distance like a memory of older inhabitants. Bear Island sits in the nearby coastal periphery, a reminder of the proximity to the shifting tides that define this portion of the peninsula. Here, the economy remains rooted in the land and the water, sustaining a character that is as durable and unpretentious as the cypress roots gripping the banks of the local waterways.

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.
