Explore Jefferson, 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 Jefferson, 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 Jefferson.
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.

Jefferson stretches across a landscape where the heavy, humid breath of the Atlantic lingers, pulling the dampness of the coast inland across the low-lying plains. It lies 13.0 miles north-northwest of Kingsland, GA (from Kingsland, GA: bearing 333°T), and is situated 19.9 miles northwest of St. Marys. The Satilla River carves a dark, tea-colored path through the earth less than a mile from the center, its slow, deliberate current feeding the thickets of longleaf pine and scrub that define the horizon. To the east, the brackish influence of Hells Gate shapes the local climate, bringing a briny mist that settles over the marshy ground during the quiet hours of dawn. Beyond the immediate tree line, the terrain flattens into the expansive, silent stretches of the low country, where the light at dusk turns a bruised purple and clings to the sawgrass like a physical weight.
Jefferson maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, anchored by a history of land cultivation that continues to shape its economic pulse. Residents look toward the nearby Marshlands Plantation as a reminder of the region’s ecological heritage, while the proximity of Monkey Island adds a layer of quiet mystery to the local geography. Commerce here remains tied to the rhythms of the soil and the seasonal shifts of the river, with the local economy favoring timber and the slow, patient labor required to sustain a livelihood in such damp, fertile country. The air in Jefferson carries the sharp, clean scent of crushed needles and wet earth, grounding the daily experience of its people in a landscape that feels as ancient and persistent as the tides pulling at the edges of the distant coastline.

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.
