Explore Highland Park, 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 Highland Park, 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 Highland Park.
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.

Highland Park occupies a flat, sun-drenched expanse where the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and encroaching subtropical humidity. It lies 1.6 miles north of Westchase, FL (from Westchase, FL: bearing 352°T), and is situated 5.1 miles north-northwest of Town 'n' Country. The land is defined by the low, insistent pulse of Double Branch, which winds through the scrub like a dark, sluggish vein, while the presence of the Ed Radice Sports Complex anchors the immediate geography with its manicured fields and structured openness. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it presses against the palmetto fronds and broad leaves, turning the afternoon into a hazy, amber-tinted duration that seems to slow the very movement of the wind. Four miles away, the quiet waters of Cypress Lake mirror the sky, offering a cool, glassy contrast to the dense, tangled undergrowth that defines the wilder, unmanaged periphery of the terrain.
Highland Park persists as a quiet intersection of human industry and the encroaching wild, serving as a gateway to the nearby salt-tinged currents of Boat Bayou. History here is written not in grand monuments but in the steady, quiet expansion of local commerce and the rhythm of life that fluctuates with the seasonal arrival of those seeking refuge from colder latitudes. Residents go about their days against a backdrop of distant, flat horizons, perhaps dreaming of the hazy outline of Sunset Hills twelve miles to the west, or finding a more immediate escape along the distant stretches of the Bayshore Linear Greenway Recreation Trail. The economy remains tethered to the land’s capacity for growth and the service of its inhabitants, maintaining a character that is defined less by ambition and more by an enduring, humid persistence under the relentless glare of the midday sun.

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.
