How to Use This Ephesus, Georgia Map

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

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.

About Ephesus, Georgia

Ephesus is a locality in Heard County, Georgia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 471. The population density is 49.2 people per km².

Ephesus emerges from the red-clay piedmont as a quiet assembly of woodlands and open fields, defined by the persistent, winding presence of Centralhatchee Creek as it carves through the terrain. It lies 15.7 miles southwest of Carrollton, GA (from Carrollton, GA: bearing 221°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south of Bowdon. The landscape here is characterized by the modest elevation of Blackjack Mountain rising two miles to the west, providing a backdrop of earth and timber that anchors the horizon. Sunlight catches the iron-rich soil during the late afternoon, turning the ground to a deep, burnished copper that contrasts sharply with the deep green of the surrounding pines. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land stretches into a series of quiet, undulating ridges that maintain an atmosphere of stillness, far removed from the clamor of the more crowded centers of the state.

Ephesus maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions that have long defined the economy of this inland region. Hoyt Rogers Park serves as a central point of local congregation, offering a place where the community gathers amidst the hardwoods that have stood as silent witnesses to the slow, evolving history of the area. While Barton Lake remains a distant presence fourteen miles away, the local rhythm is dictated more by the immediate cycle of the seasons and the maintenance of the land than by outside influence. The character of Ephesus is found in the unadorned simplicity of its daily life, where the weight of the past is not a burden but a quiet, constant companion to those who work the fields and manage the small-scale commerce that sustains the residents.

About This Ephesus Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ephesus, Georgia. Coordinates: 33.407059, -85.254392. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Ephesus includes the ZIP code (30170), telephone area code (404, 470, 678), county seat of Heard County (Franklin), and school district assignment (Heard 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.
