Explore Georgetown, 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 Georgetown, 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 Georgetown.
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.

Georgetown occupies a low, humid reach of land where the Saint Johns River exerts a slow, persistent pressure against the banks. It lies 17.8 miles south of Palatka, FL (from Palatka, FL: bearing 180°T), and is situated 6.4 miles east-northeast of Salt Springs.
The atmosphere here thickens with the scent of brackish water and damp earth, a heavy, subtropical air that clings to the palmetto scrub and cypress stands. Only a mile to the east, the Ocala National Forest provides a dense, verdant buffer, its deep woods sheltering the landscape from the wider world. The proximity to the open coastline, just a mile away, introduces a saline quality to the breeze, particularly when the tides push toward Muddy Cove. Further inland, the waters of Little Lake George remain a quiet, reflective presence, while the nearby silhouette of Hog Island breaks the surface of the river, an isolated sliver of land in the shifting current. The light at dusk here is peculiar, turning the river into a ribbon of tarnished silver that seems to pull the shadow of the trees down into its depths.
Georgetown retains a quiet, persistent character shaped by the rhythms of the river and the labor of those who have long harvested its bounty. The economy remains tethered to the water and the surrounding woodlands, a legacy that favors the patient work of fishing and timber over the rapid expansion of more urbanized locales. While the reach of the Ocala National Forest frames the horizon, the influence of the river remains the primary artery of local life, dictating the pace of the day and the movement of the seasons. There is a distinct stillness in the afternoons, when the heat drives the air into a shimmering haze and the only sound is the rhythmic lap of the Saint Johns River against the docks. This is a place that does not seek to be known, preferring the steady, unadorned existence of a locality that understands its own boundaries.

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.
