How to Use This Frederica, Georgia Map

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

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 Frederica, Georgia

Frederica is a locality in Glynn County, Georgia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Frederica is located at 31.1851°N, 81.3771°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 31522.

Frederica emerges from the salt-heavy air of the coastal plain, where the damp earth supports a dense canopy of longleaf pine and the tangled, reaching vines of kudzu. It lies 1.9 miles north-northeast of St Simons Island, GA (from St Simons Island, GA: bearing 21°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east-northeast of Brunswick. The horizon remains flat and expansive, broken only by the silhouettes of maritime vegetation that lean away from the prevailing winds blowing off the nearby open coastline. Water defines the edges of the land here, with the brackish currents of the Blackbank River and the winding, tidal flow of Dunbar Creek carving deep, sluggish channels through the silt. Across the water, the marsh grass shimmers in a pale, shifting gray as the light fades, while the proximity of Ledbetter Island adds a sense of isolation to the quiet, low-lying expanse.

Frederica bears the weight of a colonial past that lingers in the quietude of the surroundings, long after the strategic ambitions of its founders have faded into the soil. Economic life here moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, far removed from the frantic energy of metropolitan centers, favoring the rhythms of the coastal landscape over industry. Visitors often wander toward the protected grounds of Moore Park, where the remnants of the site’s historical defenses offer a somber perspective on the passage of time. Life in Frederica is marked by the cooling influence of the sea and the persistent, humid stillness of the afternoons, creating a sanctuary where the modern world feels distant, separated by miles of marsh and the slow, inevitable turn of the currents.

About This Frederica Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Frederica, Georgia. Coordinates: 31.185135, -81.377114. 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 Frederica includes the ZIP code (31522), telephone area code (229), county seat of Glynn County (Brunswick), and school district assignment.

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.
