How to Use This Flint, Michigan Map

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

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.

Flint occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the midwestern interior, where the land stretches out in wide, unassuming plains. It lies 3.7 miles west-northwest of Burton, MI (from Burton, MI: bearing 284°T), and is situated 7.8 miles south-southwest of Genesee. Thread Creek meanders through the terrain, its waters charting a path that has long influenced the movement and settlement of the region. A short distance away, the stillness of Thread Lake provides a reflective surface that mirrors the shifting clouds of the expansive sky. Memorial Park offers a modest expanse of green space where the local flora marks the changing seasons, while the distant, slight rise of Mount Holly serves as the only suggestion of elevation in an otherwise level horizon. The air here holds a crisp, earthen scent, particularly at dusk when the fading light softens the edges of the fields and the trees stand in quiet silhouettes against the darkening gray.

Flint emerged from the wilderness through the labor of those who recognized the utility of its position along the waterways. The early years were characterized by a steady transition from a trading outpost into a center of manufacturing, as the inhabitants harnessed the local resources to build a foundation for industrial growth. This era of development established a pattern of hard work and mechanical ingenuity that would eventually define the identity of the people. Through the decades, the struggles and successes of the early settlers became embedded in the collective memory, creating a sense of continuity that persists even as the structures of the past evolve to meet the needs of a new century.

Flint sustains its daily rhythm through a complex network of infrastructure and educational institutions that serve as the pillars of the modern economy. The presence of the University of Michigan-Flint and Kettering University ensures that the pursuit of knowledge remains a primary focus, anchoring the intellectual life of the inhabitants. Although the character of local industry has shifted significantly from its origins, the spirit of production remains, supported by a resilient workforce and a commitment to regional development. The roads and public systems connect the various neighborhoods, facilitating the movement of people and goods across the flat, expansive grid that characterizes the daily commute in this part of the country.

Flint maintains a cultural identity shaped by the shared experiences of its residents and the enduring legacy of the labor movement. The city celebrates its heritage through annual festivals that bring the community together, often highlighting the resilience and creativity of those who call the region home. While professional sports teams are often followed from afar, the local interest in collegiate athletics remains a source of pride and social cohesion. Notable figures, such as the filmmaker Michael Moore, have emerged from this environment to offer perspectives that are recognized far beyond the local borders. Life here is marked by a steady, pragmatic pace, where the beauty of the everyday is found in the reliability of the seasons and the enduring connections between neighbors.

About This Flint Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Flint, Michigan. Coordinates: 43.02442, -83.691971. 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 Flint includes the ZIP code (48502, 48501, 48503), telephone area code (248), county seat of Genesee County (Flint), and school district assignment (Flint City 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.
