How to Use This Wildwood, Florida Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wildwood, 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 Wildwood.

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.

Wildwood occupies a flat, sun-drenched expanse of the Florida peninsula, defined by its humid, subtropical air and the persistent, quiet presence of the Thirteenmile Run winding through the landscape. It lies 2.6 miles south-southeast of Lutz, FL (from Lutz, FL: bearing 158°T), and is situated 2.8 miles north-northwest of University. The vegetation here is a dense mosaic of palmetto scrub and cypress, where the light at dusk takes on a heavy, golden thickness that seems to suspend the very motion of the trees. Only a mile away, the Violet Cury Nature Preserve offers a protected sanctuary of wild growth, while five miles to the north, the waters of Lake Ruth hold the stillness of the interior plains, reflecting the expansive sky in a muted, silver gray.

Wildwood emerged from the intersection of rail lines and agrarian ambition, growing from a crossroads of transit into a hub that has long served as a quiet center for regional commerce and logistics. The economy here remains rooted in the rhythm of trade and the cultivation of the land, echoing a history built upon the movement of goods through the heart of the state. Life in Wildwood moves with a deliberate, steady pace, far removed from the frantic energy of the coast, where the primary concerns are the cycle of the harvest and the maintenance of the infrastructure that keeps the region connected. It is a place where the proximity to the wilderness of the preserve and the steady flow of the Thirteenmile Run remind residents that their daily lives are firmly anchored in the character of the inland soil.

About This Wildwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wildwood, Florida. Coordinates: 28.805813, -82.007324. 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 Wildwood includes the ZIP code (33549, 33514), telephone area code (407, 321), county seat of Hills County, and school district assignment (Sumter 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.
