Explore Lithia, 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 Lithia, 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 Lithia.
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.

Lithia emerges from a landscape defined by the persistent, quiet movement of the McCollough Branch, which carves a path through the dense, verdant undergrowth of the interior. It lies 2.2 miles east of Fish Hawk, FL (from Fish Hawk, FL: bearing 90°T), and is situated 9.1 miles southeast of Brandon. The terrain here is characterized by low-lying woodlands and thickets of palmetto scrub that hold the heavy, subtropical humidity as if it were a weightless mantle. Beneath the canopy, the light filters down in bruised, golden shafts, illuminating the damp earth and the tangled roots of cypress trees that thrive in the moisture-laden soil. Lithia remains removed from the distant, shifting horizons of the wider world, favoring instead the stillness of the inland plains where the air carries the scent of pine needles and damp loam. A short distance away, the quiet grounds of Hawk Park provide a sanctuary of managed wilderness, offering a glimpse of the local flora that has defined this territory long before the encroachment of modern fences.
Agriculture has long dictated the rhythm of life in Lithia, where the industry of the soil remains the primary pulse of the local economy. The legacy of phosphate mining lingers in the deep scars and reclaimed water-filled pits that punctuate the geography, a stark reminder of the earth’s capacity to be remade by human endeavor. While Lake Thonotosassa sits fifteen miles to the north, the focus of the inhabitants remains tethered to the immediate, fertile acreage that supports citrus cultivation and the slow, deliberate work of seasonal harvests. Life in Lithia proceeds with a measured intensity, punctuated by the sudden, sharp violence of thunderstorms that frequently roll across the flat expanse. The culture is one of quiet endurance, where the passing of the seasons is marked not by the calendar, but by the changing color of the groves and the persistent, humid breath of a landscape that demands a patient sort of attention from those who call it home.

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.
