How to Use This Cumberland Island, Georgia Map

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

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.

Cumberland Island rises from the salt-sprayed edge of the continent as a sanctuary of maritime forest and shifting dunes, held in a fragile equilibrium by the tides. It lies 10.6 miles northeast of Saint Marys, GA (from Saint Marys, GA: bearing 37°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-northeast of Kings Bay. Windswept live oaks, draped in thick curtains of resurrection fern and Spanish moss, stand as stoic sentinels over the sandy tracks that bisect the interior, while the vast, unpeopled beach stretches toward the Atlantic Ocean. The air here holds a heavy, briny weight, cooling under the shade of the canopy where the inland heat of the coastal plain finds no purchase. To the west, the landscape is defined by the Cumberland Island Wilderness Area, a sprawling expanse that preserves the raw, untamed character of the barrier island, far removed from the distant, hazy silhouettes of Sanctuary Ridge.

Human presence on Cumberland Island remains a quiet dialogue between the encroaching wilderness and the echoes of a gilded past. Once a site of indigo and cotton plantations, the island later became a private retreat for the Carnegie family, whose stone ruins now crumble into the earth, reclaimed by vines and the relentless humidity of the Georgia coast. The economy here is tethered not to industry, but to the stewardship of the land, as the National Park Service manages the delicate balance of ecological preservation and limited public access. Beyond the quiet interior, Sweetwater Lake offers a dark, still contrast to the churning waves of the Atlantic Ocean, while the distant, winding path of the Crooked River serves as a reminder of the mainland’s proximity. Life on Cumberland Island moves at the pace of the shifting light, where the history of the island is written in the silence of the woods and the persistent, rhythmic erosion of the shore.
