Explore Quitman, 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 Quitman, 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 Quitman.
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.

Quitman emerges from the flat, pine-shadowed landscape of southern Georgia as a quiet consolidation of brick facades and sprawling, sun-drenched fields. It lies 17.0 miles west of Valdosta, GA (from Valdosta, GA: bearing 259°T), and is situated 18.1 miles southwest of Hahira. The air here holds the heavy, sweet stillness of the interior plains, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed by the jagged disruption of distant peaks like Kennedy Hill. Only a mile away, the dark, slow-moving waters of Okapilco Creek carve a path through the dense undergrowth, providing a muted, rhythmic pulse to the surrounding woodland. In the golden hour, the light catches the fine, dusty silt of the soil, casting long, amber shadows across the open expanse and illuminating the quiet, verdant edges of Moore Pond, which sits six miles out, reflecting the vast and cloud-streaked sky.
Court House Park serves as the physical and social axis of Quitman, anchoring the civic life of the square where the architecture reflects a legacy of agricultural prosperity and steady, unhurried industry. The economy remains deeply tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, with the surrounding acreage still yielding the pecans and timber that have defined the regional character for generations. While the geological peculiarities of the terrain, such as the distant depressions known as The Sinks, hint at the shifting nature of the earth below, the daily life of Quitman proceeds with a deliberate, grounded consistency. It is a place where the weight of the past is felt not in monuments, but in the enduring way the community maintains its storefronts and the slow, persistent growth of the longleaf pines that guard the perimeter of the fields.

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.
