Explore Sunset, 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 Sunset, 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 Sunset.
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.

Sunset reveals itself as a landscape defined by the heavy, humid breath of the subtropics and the quiet persistence of low-lying terrain. It lies 1.5 miles south of Olympia Heights, FL (from Olympia Heights, FL: bearing 172°T), and is situated 2.9 miles northwest of Kendall. The ground here holds the moisture of the earth, where the drainage of Snapper Creek Canal Number C-2 marks the passage of water through the flat, verdant ground. Only six miles separate the residents from the open waters of Biscayne Bay, though the intervening space remains a dense, suburban tapestry of palmetto scrub and manicured gardens. To the west, the horizon remains stubbornly level, lacking the interruption of any peak or highland, though one might imagine the distant shape of Palm Tree Head rising far beyond the view. Residents often find solace in the green expanse of Sunset Park, a local space that anchors the neighborhood against the encroaching heat of the afternoon.
Development in Sunset mirrors the broader patterns of southern growth, moving from agricultural roots into a modern economy anchored by service and professional industry. The legacy of the region remains tied to the clearing of land that once demanded constant attention to its natural, marshy character. Over time, the economy shifted from the cycles of local groves to the professional rhythms of a diverse workforce that commutes toward larger hubs of commerce. While the intensity of the sun dictates the pace of the day, the infrastructure of the area supports a steady, quiet prosperity that favors suburban stability. The local fiber of the economy relies on businesses that serve the immediate needs of a population familiar with the challenges of a subtropical climate. Even as the decades have passed, the underlying ambition of the people of Sunset has remained focused on maintaining a standard of living that balances environmental reality with modern convenience.
Sunset fosters a cultural temperament that is as varied as the architecture of its quiet streets, reflecting a blend of influences that drift northward from the Caribbean. The identity of the neighborhood is anchored by community life, where the presence of Sunset Park acts as a focal point for weekend gatherings and the simple observation of the passing day. While the region is not defined by singular, towering monuments, it gains its character from the collective history of its residents and the proximity to the serene waters of Biscayne Bay. Notable figures such as the renowned musician Enrique Iglesias have maintained ties to this general vicinity, grounding the area in a modern cultural context. The atmosphere remains one of measured activity, where the transition from the bright, blinding light of midday to the deep shadows of evening provides a daily rhythm for those who live here. Life in Sunset proceeds with a deliberate grace, unburdened by the clamor of more crowded centers, yet fully engaged with the subtropical world that surrounds it.

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.
