Explore Cross Creek, 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 Cross Creek, 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 Cross Creek.
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.

Cross Creek sustains a quiet existence amid the dense, humid embrace of subtropical woodland where the earth remains heavy with the scent of damp loam and decaying palmetto. The Clay Gully carves a persistent path through the terrain, its winding channel dictating the flow of the land and providing a cool, shadowed artery that sustains the local flora. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles, illuminating the dust motes that hang suspended in the humid air, while the nearby Lower Hillsborough Flood Detention Area serves as a sprawling, silent witness to the region’s natural hydrology. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the presence of Lake Thonotosassa exerts a distant influence on the moisture of the soil, ensuring that the ground beneath one's feet feels perpetually soft and yielding.
Agricultural ambition has long defined the character of Cross Creek, as generations have labored to coax life from the fertile, iron-rich earth in a rhythm dictated by the changing seasons rather than the clock. The economy remains rooted in the land, manifested in the modest patches of citrus and the quiet industry of those who know how to work the soil without exhausting its spirit. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring stubbornness of the vegetation and the way the light catches the gray, weathered wood of old structures as dusk settles over the plains. Even when the horizon remains flat and unremarkable, the atmosphere carries a weight of permanence, as if Cross Creek has simply decided to persist in its own slow, measured fashion, indifferent to the hurried pace of the world outside its borders.

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.
