How to Use This Gumlog, Georgia Map

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

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 Gumlog, Georgia

Gumlog is a locality in Franklin County, Georgia, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,358. The population density is 67.5 people per km². Gumlog is located at 34.4989°N, 83.0930°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 30582, 30553.

Gumlog reveals itself through the slow, deliberate movement of Gum Log Creek as it carves a path through the heavy red-clay earth. It lies 37.5 miles northeast of Jefferson, GA (from Jefferson, GA: bearing 46°T), and is situated 3.9 miles north of Lavonia. The landscape is defined by this quiet waterway, which feeds into the vast, still expanse of Hartwell Lake, blurring the boundary between the firm ground and the moisture-laden air. On the horizon, the faint, jagged silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a distant anchor to the otherwise expansive, forested horizon. The light at dusk here possesses a particular amber quality, catching the needles of the longleaf pines and casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the fields until the world feels suspended in a quiet, cooling amber glow.

Gumlog preserves the remnants of an agrarian life that once relied on the steady rhythms of the soil and the seasonal yield of local orchards. While the economy has shifted, the presence of the Hartwell Recreation Area ensures that the land remains a point of gathering for those who favor the stillness of the woods over the clamor of modern thoroughfares. The history of the place is not written in grand monuments but in the way the local folk maintain the integrity of their homesteads and the modest, persistent industry that keeps the area functional. Life here maintains a cadence determined by the rising and setting of the sun, reflecting a deep-seated patience that seems to rise from the very clay that supports the weight of the day.

About This Gumlog Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gumlog, Georgia. Coordinates: 34.498866, -83.093041. 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 Gumlog includes the ZIP code (30582, 30553), telephone area code (770, 678), county seat of Franklin County (Carnesville), and school district assignment (Franklin 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.
