How to Use This Earleton, Florida Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Earleton, 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 Earleton.

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 Earleton, Florida

Earleton is a locality in Alachua County, Florida, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Earleton is located at 29.7439°N, 82.1034°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 32631.

Earleton emerges from the damp, subtropical shadows of the Florida interior, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of pine needles and decaying cypress. It lies 14.7 miles east-northeast of Gainesville, FL (from Gainesville, FL: bearing 64°T), and is situated 19.3 miles east of Alachua. The landscape around Earleton is defined by the expansive, tea-colored waters of Santa Fe Lake, which presses against the land with a stillness that mirrors the thick, humid sky. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the terrain yields to dense patches of palmetto scrub and tangled woodland, while the nearby Lake Alto Preserve - South provides a sanctuary for the wilder, uncultivated edges of the region. As dusk settles, the light turns a bruised violet, catching the surface of the water and illuminating the slow, rhythmic crawl of the heat as it radiates from the earth.

Earleton carries the quiet weight of a place shaped by the slow movement of timber and agriculture, industries that once carved a livelihood from the pine-rich soil. While the distant pull of the coast remains three miles away, the life of Earleton is anchored to the interior, tied to the winding passage of the Santa Fe Canal and the nearby reaches of Melrose Bay. The character of the locality is forged in the silence of the woods and the proximity to the Austin Cary Memorial Forest, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of existence more than the frantic ticking of a clock. Modern life here acknowledges the legacy of the land, preserving a sense of isolation that favors the patient observer over the hurried traveler.

About This Earleton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Earleton, Florida. Coordinates: 29.743856, -82.103434. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Earleton includes the ZIP code (32631), telephone area code (904), county seat of Alachua County (Gainesville), and school district assignment.

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.
