How to Use This Montgomery, Georgia Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Montgomery, 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 Montgomery.
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 Montgomery, Georgia
Montgomery is a locality in Chatham County, Georgia, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,443. The population density is 328.9 people per km². Montgomery is located at 31.9479°N, 81.0979°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 31406.Montgomery occupies a low-slung expanse of the coastal plain where the Vernon River carves a dark, tidal ribbon through the marsh grass, dictating the slow pulse of the local landscape. It lies 6.8 miles east-southeast of Georgetown, GA (from Georgetown, GA: bearing 116°T), and is situated 10.0 miles south of Savannah. The air here holds a heavy, salt-dampened weight, carrying the scent of pluff mud and pine needles across a horizon that remains stubbornly flat, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of Spider Ridge rising in the far west. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the terrain yields to dense patches of woodland and sandy soil, while the nearby Ossabaw Island Wildlife Management Area serves as a quiet sanctuary for the wilder, untamed edges of the coast. To the east, the Atlantic Ocean exerts its invisible influence, drawing the tides up the river channels and softening the light at dusk into a bruised, oceanic violet that settles over the canopy of longleaf pines.
Montgomery retains the quiet endurance of an older settlement, one built upon the rhythms of the water and the seasonal cycles of the surrounding land. While the modern economy has drifted away from the intensive agriculture of previous generations, the legacy of the region lingers in the sparse, deliberate layout of the roads and the enduring presence of local families who have watched the marsh tides for decades. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Forest City Gun Club Lake reflect the sky with a mirror-like stillness, providing a stark contrast to the churning, brackish flow of the river nearby. Across the narrow waterways, the silhouette of Rose Dhu Island stands as a reminder of the isolation that once defined this stretch of the coast, where the pace of life is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, inevitable creep of the moisture and the changing colors of the marsh.

About This Montgomery Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Montgomery, Georgia. Coordinates: 31.947857, -81.09792. 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 Montgomery includes the ZIP code (31406), telephone area code (478), county seat of Chatham County (Savannah), and school district assignment (Chatham 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.
