Explore Avalon, 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 Avalon, 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 Avalon.
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.

Avalon occupies a quiet stretch of red-clay earth where the land leans into the slow, deliberate work of the inland Piedmont. It lies 34.2 miles northeast of Jefferson, GA (from Jefferson, GA: bearing 39°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-southeast of Toccoa. Clarks Creek traces a wandering path through the landscape, its waters carving shallow channels that catch the golden, heavy light of late afternoon. To the northwest, the distant silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the horizon, a serrated edge against the pale sky. Just a mile away, the surface of Margiebell Lake remains still, acting as a glass for the passing clouds and the long shadows cast by stands of pine. The air here holds a steady warmth, carrying the scent of damp soil and the dry, rustling sound of wind moving through the tall grass.
Avalon persists as a place defined by the rhythm of the seasons and the cycle of local agriculture that has long anchored its economy. The land surrounding the area supports a quiet industry of growers who work the deep, mineral-rich earth, favoring the cultivation of peaches and pecans that benefit from the temperate climate. Residents often look toward the nearby Hartwell Recreation Area for a reprieve, finding in its managed spaces a connection to the woods that once covered this entire expanse. There is a particular permanence to the pace of life here, where the work of the day is measured not by the clock, but by the gradual transition from the heat of the sun to the cooling, quiet descent of dusk.

Detailed location data for Avalon includes the ZIP code (30557, 30274, 30014), telephone area code (404, 470, 678, 770), county seat of Stephens County (Toccoa), and school district assignment (Stephens 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.
