Explore Fort Pierce South, 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 Fort Pierce South, 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 Fort Pierce South.
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.

Fort Pierce South emerges from the subtropical humidity as a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of Fivemile Creek. It lies 3.1 miles southwest of Fort Pierce, FL (from Fort Pierce, FL: bearing 214°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north of Port St. Lucie. The terrain here favors palmetto scrub and dense thickets of mangrove, creating a rugged horizon that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Pisgah Hill. Three miles to the east, the Indian River Lagoon acts as a vital artery for the region, its tidal rhythms dictating the slow, deliberate pace of the local environment. Sunlight often catches the moisture-heavy air at dusk, turning the sky into a bruised palette of violet and gold that reflects off the quiet water. Further inland, the expansive Savannas Preserve State Park offers a vast, protected corridor of sawgrass and wetland that defines the ecological character of Fort Pierce South.
Early settlement in Fort Pierce South drew strength from the fertile soil and the proximity to maritime trade routes, anchoring a local economy that long relied on the bounty of the land and the nearby harbor. Citrus groves once dominated the periphery, providing the backbone for an industry that shaped the early development of the region. Today, the economic pulse remains tied to these agricultural roots, though it has evolved to support a mixture of small-scale commerce and service sectors. The legacy of the pioneers who cleared the palmetto scrub is still evident in the grid of the older residential streets. Residents maintain a practical, hardworking temperament, honoring a history defined by the struggle to tame the wilder edges of the Florida coast.
Cultural life in Fort Pierce South moves with the steady, unhurried cadence of a place that values its distance from the frantic pace of larger urban centers. The proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and the wild expanse of Savannas Preserve State Park ensures that the outdoors remain the primary theater for community activities. While the region is not a hub for high-profile celebrities, it holds a quiet pride in its authentic, unvarnished identity as a place where the seasons are marked by the shifting winds rather than the calendar. Visitors might travel toward the coast to reach Causeway Island, but the true spirit of the locality is found in the shaded porches and the humid, scent-filled air of the neighborhood streets. Life here is a quiet negotiation with the elements, where the intensity of the summer sun is balanced by the cooling influence of the coastal breeze.

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.
