Explore Atlanta, Georgia, 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 Atlanta, Georgia. 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 Georgia 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 Atlanta.
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.

Atlanta rises from the red-clay piedmont as a sprawling expanse of glass and steel, defined by its position deep inland and far removed from any maritime influence. It lies 5.5 miles west-southwest of North Decatur, GA (from North Decatur, GA: bearing 239°T), and is situated 8.0 miles south-southwest of Brookhaven. The terrain around Atlanta is characterized by a series of undulating ridges and dense woodland, where the longleaf pine stands as a quiet sentinel against the encroaching heat of the afternoon. Two miles away, the surface of Piedmont Lake catches the low, golden light of dusk, reflecting a sky that feels expansive and heavy with humidity. To the north, the distant blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged horizon line, while closer to the center, the English Avenue Tributary carves a narrow path through the earth, marking the subtle drainage of the local topography. Residents often find solace in the open green space of Georgia Plaza Park, a tranquil anchor of public land that offers a moment of stillness amidst the rhythmic pulse of urban movement.
Founding narratives of Atlanta trace back to the mid-nineteenth century, when the intersection of iron rails transformed a quiet wilderness into a critical junction for commerce and travel. The growth of Atlanta was fueled by the necessity of connection, as the early tracks established a hub that would eventually radiate outward like the veins of a leaf. Through cycles of destruction and rapid reconstruction, the physical character of Atlanta evolved, shedding its frontier skin to become a testament to persistence. This historical trajectory left behind a landscape that values the forward-looking momentum of the future while maintaining a distinct, lingering Southern sensibility. The air in the older districts often feels thick with the weight of this development, where the architecture shifts from the ornate brickwork of the past to the sharp, reflective angles of a modern metropolis.
Economic vitality in Atlanta is anchored by a complex network of global corporations, medical research centers, and a bustling logistics sector that utilizes the region’s central position to move goods across the continent. The infrastructure of Atlanta supports a diverse array of industries, with a particular emphasis on higher education, as evidenced by the presence of institutions like the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. These centers of learning feed the local workforce, creating a steady circulation of intellect and innovation that permeates the professional culture. Beyond the office towers and laboratory campuses, the daily rhythm of the commute and the steady hum of construction cranes define the physical reality of a place that is perpetually in the process of becoming something larger.
Cultural life in Atlanta is defined by a deep-seated passion for professional sports teams like the Braves and the Falcons, alongside the fervent energy of collegiate athletics that brings the community together during the autumn months. Major annual events and festivals punctuate the calendar, transforming public spaces into vibrant gatherings that celebrate everything from regional music to the agricultural harvest of peaches and pecans. Visitors and locals alike often seek out the Memorial Park Trail, five miles away, to experience the natural beauty of the region away from the concrete. Famous figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. have left an indelible mark on the identity of Atlanta, infusing the civic atmosphere with a focus on civil rights and social progress. The character of the people remains rooted in a particular kind of Southern hospitality, even as the scale of the surroundings continues to expand toward the horizon.

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.
