Explore Rex, 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 Rex, 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 Rex.
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.

Rex emerges from the red-clay piedmont as a landscape defined by the persistent flow of the Big Cotton Indian Creek. It lies 1.6 miles southeast of Ellenwood, GA (from Ellenwood, GA: bearing 140°T), and is situated 9.4 miles southwest of Stonecrest. The terrain surrounding Rex consists of quiet woodland and stretches of earth that hold the warmth of the sun long after the light begins to fade from the sky. Lake Katherine rests only a mile away, its surface often mirroring the heavy, humid clouds that gather during the long afternoons. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a reminder of the vast interior geography that shapes the regional climate. This environment encourages a slow, deliberate pace where the scent of longleaf pine lingers in the air.
Rex maintains a connection to the agricultural heritage of the region, though the local economy has evolved alongside the shifting demands of the nearby modern metropolis. Once defined primarily by the rhythm of the harvest, the livelihoods of the people here now participate in the broader industrial and professional currents of the state. Small enterprises and logistics hubs utilize the accessible infrastructure to sustain the daily needs of the residents. The soil remains a stubborn, vibrant red, demanding a certain respect from those who work the land or manage the property. History here is found not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the earth and the steady growth of local commerce.
Cultural life in Rex finds its most active expression at the Carl Rhodenizer Recreation Center, where the neighborhood gathers for shared pursuits and community engagement. The grounds serve as a central point for social interaction, fostering a sense of belonging that defines the character of the people. While the region shares in the broader Southern narrative of literature and song, the daily existence of those living in Rex is marked by a quiet, grounded modesty. The atmosphere is one of functional simplicity, favoring neighborly cooperation over the frantic pace of larger urban centers. Whether participating in local events or enjoying the stillness of a quiet evening, the inhabitants carry themselves with a reserved, steady confidence.

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.
