Explore Buckhead, 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 Buckhead, 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 Buckhead.
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.

Buckhead manifests as a dense canopy of hardwoods and pines, rising from the red-clay piedmont into a skyline of glass and steel that reflects the shifting afternoon light. It lies 2.6 miles west-southwest of Brookhaven, GA (from Brookhaven, GA: bearing 240°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north of Atlanta. The terrain here is defined by subtle elevation changes and the persistent, quiet presence of Riverkeeper Creek, which winds through the verdant landscape only a mile from the center. To the west, the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, hazy silhouette against the horizon, grounding the metropolitan sprawl in the ancient geology of the region. Residents often gather at Charlie Loudermilk Park, a vital green space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the structured intensity of the surroundings. On quiet mornings, the air carries a crisp, inland stillness, far removed from the moisture of the distant coast, while the nearby Brookhaven Country Club Lake offers a reflective calm to those tracing the pathways of the Memorial Park Trail.
Buckhead evolved from its agrarian origins into a prominent economic hub where the commerce of finance and high-end retail now defines the local pulse. The transition from early settlement to a center of Southern industry has left a legacy of sprawling estates and manicured thoroughfares that balance the rapid pace of professional life with established residential character. This district functions as a primary engine of regional prosperity, drawing individuals to its corporate towers and galleries with a gravity that feels both modern and deeply rooted in the soil of Georgia. The rhythm of daily existence in Buckhead is marked by the constant movement of vehicles along grand avenues and the deliberate, shaded tranquility found in the older, tree-lined districts. It is a place where the ambition of the present is calibrated against the enduring, heavy scent of pine and the deep, persistent color of the earth.

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.
