Explore St. Marys, 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 St. Marys, 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 St. Marys.
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.

St. Marys commands a quiet presence where the land yields to the coastal plain, marked by the slow, rhythmic pull of the tides. It lies 1.9 miles northwest of Saint Marys, GA (from Saint Marys, GA: bearing 310°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east-southeast of Kingsland. The landscape is defined by its proximity to the open water, sitting just six miles from the coastline where the air carries a distinct salt-heavy humidity. Sweetwater Branch meanders a mere mile away, feeding into the lower reaches of the terrain with a persistent, fluid grace. To the east, Martins Island breaks the horizon, while the expansive waters of Kings Bay shape the maritime character of the surroundings. Further inland, the gentle rise of London Hill provides a subtle relief to the otherwise flat, pine-studded horizon that stretches toward the distant, low-lying Caney Flats.
St. Marys maintains a history deeply tethered to the shifting fortunes of the Georgia coast, where early settlement was dictated by the currents and the promise of timber. The local economy finds its footing in these same maritime traditions, supported by a workforce that has long looked toward the water for its primary industries. While the town remains quiet, the influence of regional commerce and the nearby base operations provide a steady pulse to the daily labor of its residents. The land, rich with the legacy of longleaf pine, has transitioned from the agrarian patterns of the past to a modern economic reliance on service and coastal logistics. Even at a distance of twenty-four miles, the presence of Hampton Lake serves as a reminder of the quiet, inland freshwater reserves that anchor the broader geography of the region.
St. Marys fosters a cultural character defined by the slow, humid passage of summer afternoons and the unpretentious warmth of its people. Visitors often congregate at St. Marys Civic Park, a local space that serves as a communal anchor for gatherings and the quiet observation of the changing light. The town maintains a modest scale, favoring the preservation of its historic identity over the rapid encroachment of modern development. While many figures have walked these streets, the town is perhaps most tangibly linked to the memory of those who served in the armed forces, their stories woven into the very atmosphere of the local docks. Every season brings a specific quality to the air, a mixture of pine resin and brine that seems to settle over the houses and streets as the sun dips low.

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.
