How to Use This Waverly, Florida Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Waverly, 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 Waverly.
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 Waverly, Florida
Waverly is a locality in Hills County, Florida, United States. It is a small community with a population of 661. The population density is 177.5 people per km². Waverly is located at 27.9853°N, 81.6253°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 33612, 33877.Waverly breathes with the heavy, salt-dampened air that drifts inland from the nearby reaches of Tampa Bay. Curiosity Creek carves a dark, tea-colored vein through the low-lying terrain, its slow passage marked by the rhythmic swaying of sawgrass and the dense, tangled shadows of cypress knees. Beyond the immediate banks, the land opens into an expanse of palmetto scrub, where the sun bleaches the sandy soil to a pale, bone-white intensity. On the horizon, the distant rise of Sunset Hills offers a faint, shimmering silhouette against the sky, while the immediate verdancy of George Russell Park provides a sanctuary where the subtropical heat softens into a lingering, humid stillness.
Waverly maintains an economy rooted in the quiet persistence of the soil, where the legacy of citrus groves continues to define the seasonal pulse of the inhabitants. Long ago, the nearby presence of Buck Hammock served as a natural waypoint for those traversing the interior, and the influence of that isolation remains in the deliberate, measured pace of daily affairs. Residents often travel the short distance to the Blake Trail to witness the changing light across the flatlands, a practice that anchors the community to its environment. While Lake Ruth remains a quiet fixture for those seeking reflection, the labor of the region stays tied to the earth, honoring a history of cultivation that thrives beneath the frequent, sudden flashes of the region's legendary lightning storms.

About This Waverly Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Waverly, Florida. Coordinates: 27.985282, -81.625304. 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 Waverly includes the ZIP code (33612, 33877), telephone area code (407, 321, 561), county seat of Hills County, and school district assignment (Polk 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.
