Explore Jesup, 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 Jesup, 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 Jesup.
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.

Jesup occupies a flat expanse of the Georgia pine country where the light settles heavy and golden across the longleaf needles. It lies 23.7 miles southwest of Hinesville, GA (from Hinesville, GA: bearing 226°T), and is situated 18.8 miles southwest of Walthourville. Walker Creek meanders through the landscape just a mile away, its dark water carving a quiet path through the low-lying timberland. To the north, the gentle rise of Griffin Ridge breaks the horizon, providing a subtle relief to the otherwise level terrain of the surrounding woods. Residents often find respite at Cracker Williams Park, a local space that anchors the daily movement of the neighborhood. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, Rayonier Lake South remains a still, reflective presence four miles out, while Raccoon Flat stretches ten miles away in a wide, hushed basin.
Jesup grew from the convergence of iron rails, establishing a rhythm defined by the steady thrum of passing freight and the industry of the land. The local economy relies heavily on the forest products and manufacturing sectors that transform the raw timber of the region into essential goods. Generations of workers have found their livelihood in these mills, maintaining a tradition of labor that values endurance and craftsmanship above all else. This heritage of production continues to shape the character of the streets, where the scent of sawdust and pine sap often hangs in the humid afternoon air. Through periods of change, the town has held fast to its identity as a place where things are built and resources are carefully managed.
Cultural life in Jesup finds its expression in the high school football stands and the quiet rituals of the courthouse square. The town remains a place where the social fabric is held together by long-standing ties and the shared experience of a life lived far from the frantic pace of the larger metropolises. Notable figures such as the professional football player and coach, Ray Goff, have roots here, carrying the spirit of the local fields into the wider world. Annual events bring the people together, turning the public spaces into centers of conversation and communal celebration. Life in Jesup moves with a deliberate, steady grace, mirroring the slow growth of the longleaf pines that stand as silent sentinels over the entire region.

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.
