How to Use This La Crosse, Florida Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Crosse, 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 La Crosse.
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 La Crosse, Florida
La Crosse is a locality in Alachua County, Florida, United States. It is a small community with a population of 316. The population density is 26.4 people per km². La Crosse is located at 29.8433°N, 82.4048°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. La Crosse is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 32653, 32658, 32609.La Crosse occupies a quiet expanse of north-central Florida where the flat, pine-studded plains stretch toward the horizon under a sky that often bruises with the sudden, violet intensity of a subtropical storm. It lies 6.4 miles north of Alachua, FL (from Alachua, FL: bearing 11°T), and is situated 14.1 miles north-northwest of Gainesville. The landscape here is characterized by the slow, deliberate drainage of the land into the limestone depressions of the Robinson Sinks, a terrain where the earth is porous and the water table breathes just beneath the surface. Low-hanging humidity clings to the palmetto scrub, and in the stillness of the afternoon, the light filters through the canopy with a golden, heavy clarity that seems to suspend time itself. Two miles from the center, the dark, tannin-stained waters of Rocky Creek wind through the undergrowth, carving a path that defines the local hydrology and supports the dense, verdant thickets that shelter the region’s wildlife.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of La Crosse, where the sandy soil and persistent warmth have long supported a tradition of cultivation that defines the rhythm of daily life. The legacy of early settlement persists in the modest, functional architecture and the expansive fields that surround the core of the locality, reflecting a history rooted in the labor of the land rather than the bustle of commerce. Five miles away, the Graham Conservation Area preserves the wilder character of the region, offering a sanctuary of native flora that stands in contrast to the cleared tracts of farmland. Residents move with a measured pace, observing the seasons through the shifting colors of the foliage and the reliable, heavy heat of the summer months, maintaining a way of life that remains tethered to the quiet, consistent growth of the earth.

About This La Crosse Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Crosse, Florida. Coordinates: 29.843298, -82.404833. 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 La Crosse includes the ZIP code (32653, 32658, 32609), telephone area code (904), county seat of Alachua County (Gainesville), and school district assignment (Alachua 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.
