How to Use This Homosassa, Florida Map

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

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 Homosassa, Florida

Homosassa is a locality in Citrus County, Florida, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,299. The population density is 113.6 people per km². Homosassa is located at 28.7814°N, 82.6151°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 34448, 34487, 34446.

Homosassa draws its character from the slow, dark pulse of the Homosassa River as it winds through a landscape of heavy subtropical humidity and dense, tangled mangroves. It lies 2.8 miles west-southwest of Homosassa Springs, FL (from Homosassa Springs, FL: bearing 237°T), and is situated 7.4 miles west-northwest of Sugarmill Woods. The land is a low-slung expanse of palmetto scrub and cypress, where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter, reflecting the encroaching shadows of the Withlacoochee State Forest. This terrain sits only a mile from the open salt of the Gulf of Mexico, maintaining a fragile proximity to the tides that push saline whispers deep into the inland freshwater veins. Beyond the immediate banks, the geography flattens into a humid corridor, far removed from the elevation of Bailey Hill, where the air remains thick with the scent of brine and damp earth.

Homosassa carries a legacy forged by those who looked to the water for sustenance, transitioning from early maritime ventures into a local economy defined by sport fishing and the quiet stewardship of its natural springs. The presence of Tiger Tail Island serves as a silent marker of the estuary’s shifting edges, while the rhythm of life adheres to the seasonal migrations of manatees and the slow drift of boats heading toward the Gulf of Mexico. Residents and visitors alike navigate a world where industry has largely bowed to the preservation of the riverine environment, favoring the preservation of wild space over rapid expansion. While the distant horizon holds no mountains, the memory of the land is preserved in the quiet, steady pace of those who live between the riverbanks and the nearby reach of Kings Bay, finding a singular peace in the humid, salt-tinged stillness of the coast.

About This Homosassa Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Homosassa, Florida. Coordinates: 28.781372, -82.6151. 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 Homosassa includes the ZIP code (34448, 34487, 34446), telephone area code (941), county seat of Citrus County (Inverness), and school district assignment (Citrus County School District).

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.
