Explore Ellenton, 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 Ellenton, 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 Ellenton.
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.

Ellenton manifests as a quiet intersection of flat, fertile earth where the dark, sluggish waters of the Big Branch trace a serpentine path through the surrounding woodland. It lies 11.9 miles east of Moultrie, GA (from Moultrie, GA: bearing 91°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west of Sparks. The horizon remains wide and unencumbered, broken only by the occasional silhouette of longleaf pine or the distant, hazy rise of Kennedy Hill that marks the edge of the visual field. During the late afternoon, the light here takes on a heavy, amber quality, softening the sharp edges of the fields and casting long, thin shadows across the red-clay soil that defines the regional geography. For those who wander just two miles beyond the settled roads, the protected expanse of Reed Bingham State Park offers a stillness that seems to permeate the entire countryside, acting as a natural anchor for the local ecosystem.
Agriculture anchors the daily life of Ellenton, where the rhythm of the seasons is dictated by the planting and harvest of pecans and the careful stewardship of the land. The economy remains tethered to these fields, maintaining a modest, deliberate pace that contrasts with the rapid urbanization occurring elsewhere in the state. History here is marked by the quiet accumulation of generations who have worked the plains, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that feels as persistent as the humidity of a Georgia summer. While Sumner Lake lies seven miles distant, providing a localized center for reflection and quiet recreation, the true character of the locality is found in the steady, unassuming persistence of its people, who carry on their tasks beneath an expansive sky that changes color with the slow, predictable grace of a turning year.

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.
