Explore Inwood, 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 Inwood, 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 Inwood.
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.

Inwood occupies a quiet expanse of the Florida interior where the land transitions into a patchwork of subtropical scrub and open fields. It lies 2.2 miles west-northwest of Winter Haven, FL (from Winter Haven, FL: bearing 297°T), and is situated 2.4 miles southeast of Auburndale. Sunlight here possesses a heavy, amber quality that illuminates the palmetto scrub as the day cools toward dusk. The horizon remains low and level, occasionally punctuated by the silhouette of Iron Mountain in the distance. Residents find a singular stillness at the edges of Lake Cannon, where the water reflects the expansive sky. Beyond the immediate terrain, the dense canopy of the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest offers a deeper, shadowed contrast to the bright, sun-drenched plains.
Inwood developed alongside the expansion of the regional citrus industry, which remains a primary influence on the local economy and the organization of the surrounding earth. Rows of fruit trees define the boundaries of the landscape, creating geometric patterns that shift with the seasons of harvest and bloom. While the region has seen shifts in its commercial focus, the labor of agriculture stays woven into the daily life of the residents. Small-scale manufacturing and service sectors provide additional stability, supporting a workforce that values a steady, measured pace of productivity. The history of the area is measured not by grand monuments, but by the persistence of the groves and the changing rhythm of the local trade.
Inwood maintains a character defined by the slow transition of light across the flat, humid expanse and the quiet social intersections of daily life. The Westwood area provides a necessary clearing for public gathering and recreation, serving as a focal point for communal activity. Residents often travel toward Saddle Creek to observe the subtle movement of the water through the low-lying terrain. During the height of the summer, the frequent, sudden storms bring a charge to the air that defines the local climate. While Inwood does not claim national fame for individual residents, the people here carry a deep familiarity with the distinct flora and the heavy, fertile soil that sustains their environment.

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.
