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 Towns 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 asserts its presence where the red-clay earth softens into the quiet, tangled basin of Tarklin Cove. It lies 46.6 miles north of Gainesville, GA (from Gainesville, GA: bearing 352°T), and is situated 30.1 miles north of Dahlonega. The landscape here is defined by the steady, low-slung movement of East Gumlog Creek, which cuts a narrow path through the undergrowth, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid sky. Beyond the immediate thickets, the horizon is held by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, grounding the view in a permanent, ancient scale. The air in Gumlog often carries the scent of damp pine needles and turned soil, a sensory reminder of the proximity to the Chattahoochee National Forest, which blankets the surrounding terrain in a dense, unbroken canopy of green.

History in Gumlog remains etched in the quiet persistence of those who work the land, favoring small-scale agriculture and the rhythms of a local economy that has long turned away from the frantic pace of the larger world. Life here is measured by the seasonal cycles of the fields and the slow, deliberate maintenance of the property lines that have held for generations. Residents might spend their weekends hiking the Arkaquah Trail or watching the light fade over the still, reflective surface of Bowen Lake, finding a particular beauty in the way dusk settles over the woods. While the nearby Haynes Falls offers a rare, dramatic punctuation to the otherwise subtle topography, the true character of Gumlog is found in the unremarked, everyday stillness that persists beneath the shade of the longleaf pines.

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 Towns County (Hiawassee), 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.
