Explore Union Point, 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 Union Point, 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 Union Point.
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.

Union Point emerges from the red-clay piedmont as a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Folsom Branch, which carves a quiet path through the local topography. It lies 2.5 miles east of Dalton, GA (from Dalton, GA: bearing 95°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west of Chatsworth. The earth here carries a deep, iron-rich pigment, staining the boots of those who traverse the fields where the longleaf pine stands in disciplined rows. To the northwest, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains provides a permanent, silent boundary to the horizon, while the terrain itself dips into the fertile depressions of Hungry Valley. The air holds a heavy, humid stillness during the late afternoon, as the low sun catches the dust motes rising from the soil, casting a bruised, violet light over the swaying stalks of grasses that border the small, quiet basin.
Union Point carries the echoes of a rail-driven history, its identity forged by the intersection of iron tracks that once dictated the movement of goods and people across the Georgia interior. The local economy, once tethered to the rhythmic demands of the textile mills, now finds its cadence in a slower, more deliberate pace of life that centers on the maintenance of its modest, brick-lined storefronts. A mile from the center, Eastside Elem School serves as a primary hub for the local families, grounding the community in the daily rituals of education and youth. Farther afield, the still waters of Threadmill Lake offer a reflective contrast to the bustling activity of the past, providing a sanctuary for the local fauna as the shadows of the afternoon lengthen across the pine needles.

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.
