How to Use This Tignall, Georgia Map

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

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.

Tignall emerges from the dense, red-clay mantle of the Georgia piedmont, defined by the persistent, winding course of Chickasaw Creek. It lies 37.1 miles east of Athens, GA (from Athens, GA: bearing 100°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north of Washington. This landscape is a quiet expanse of woodland and open farmland, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of pine needles and the damp, iron-rich earth. Five miles to the south, the still waters of Grimaude Lake mirror the shifting sky, providing a calm counterpoint to the subtle, undulating topography of the region. On clear evenings, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains may appear as a faint, jagged smudge against the twilight, serving as a reminder of the vast, varied geography that stretches far beyond these quiet fields.

History in Tignall reflects the enduring character of a settlement built upon the cycles of the harvest and the patient labor of those who work the soil. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture, where the legacy of cotton and timber continues to shape the daily patterns of the inhabitants. Beyond the cultivated rows, the nearby Wilkes County Wildlife Management Area preserves a fragment of the native wilderness, offering a sanctuary for the local flora and fauna that once dominated this territory. Life here moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, anchored by the heritage of the land and the simple, persistent beauty of a sunrise illuminating the iron-stained dust of the country roads.

About This Tignall Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tignall, Georgia. Coordinates: 33.867623, -82.741251. 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 Tignall includes the ZIP code (30668), telephone area code (770, 678), county seat of Wilkes County (Washington), and school district assignment (Wilkes 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.
