How to Use This Rossville, Georgia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rossville, 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 Rossville.

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.

Rossville occupies a low-lying stretch of Georgia earth where the humid air often holds the scent of damp red clay and pine needles. It lies 2.9 miles northwest of Fort Oglethorpe, GA (from Fort Oglethorpe, GA: bearing 325°T), and is situated 4.5 miles south-southeast of Chattanooga. The terrain of Rossville slopes gently toward the Chattanooga Valley, a basin that channels the weather and keeps the summers heavy with a lingering, golden heat. A mile away, the dark, slow-moving waters of Chattanooga Creek carve a winding path through the landscape, while the verdant expanse of the Rossville Athletic Field serves as a central clearing for the daily movement of the residents. Beyond the immediate local horizon, the distant Appalachian Mountains provide a jagged, blue-gray silhouette that defines the limits of the sky, grounding the view in a vast, ancient geology.

History in Rossville remains tethered to the rhythmic hum of industry and the quiet persistence of those who built their lives around the mill and the warehouse. The local economy has shifted over generations, moving from the steady output of factories toward a more varied landscape of small enterprises and service trades that anchor the modern day. Travelers seeking the quietude of nature often make their way toward the Hardy Trail for a walk, or venture further to find the cooling spray of Lula Falls, which drops into a basin six miles from the houses and storefronts. Whether passing the time at the edge of Lake Winnepesauka two miles distant or navigating the transition between the developed streets and the wilder edges of Prentice Cooper State Forest, the people here maintain a steady, unadorned way of living that honors the slow passage of the sun across the valley floor.

About This Rossville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rossville, Georgia. Coordinates: 34.983131, -85.286068. 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 Rossville includes the ZIP code (30741), telephone area code (770), county seat of Walker County (LaFayette), and school district assignment (Walker 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.
