Description

This tool can be used to find cities and towns within a particular radius of a central location. Note, there is no clear way to determine what is a town or city on a global scale so the results on this page may include or exclude some places. Get in contact if you see a big mistake and we will do our best to update the system.

Instructions

Select a radius to search within ... 1km, 5km, 10km, 20km or 50km
Select a centre point by either
- Type an address and click / tap Search
- Click / tap Search with an empty text box to find your current location
- Click / tap on the map to indicate the center of the search
Once the search is complete, you can see the list of towns and cities below the map. You can also tap on a marker of a result to find more details

Notes

The search radius has a limit of 50km. This cannot be increased.

What a great tool, thank you
By Ricardo on 6th March 2024

Would love to see 100 mile radius. Thanks
By Mustard on 19th January 2024

Love this tool but would also love for it to go further than 50km. 100/150 would be great if possible. Thanks
On 28th December 2023

Love this tool just wish it's distance was greater than 50 kilometers. Thank you though for this

Is it possible to include the state or county that the town is in, so when you are on a state border and you get the list of towns, it will append the state.

Steve, have a look at Find Cities and Towns Inside an Area.

Steve, thanks for the donation.
By Free Map Tools on 2nd October 2022

Would be great if we could draw a polygon on the map and get results from that area. I have seen this on other websites when looking for properties (idealista.es)

I just dropped a small donation in your kitty to say thanks guys.

I had been looking for a tool like this for some time to help overcome brick walls in genealogy with radius searches. The population indication was not very useful for this purpose as it is mostly absent, and in any case, populations change over the centuries. The distance indication is essential. I would like to see a better visual representation of where the towns are located. Very Useful to me!

This tool is not working properly. I am getting locations like this: Odessa,Unknown Gulf Pine,Unknown Lake Fern,Unknown

Michelle, do any searches work? Even one of a smaller radius size?
By Free Map Tools on 22nd June 2022

I%u2019ve been having issues getting this to work at all. First started with listing cities/towns within a 40 mile radius of my location at the time was in Guin, AL. Waited for about 35 mins it still was indicating it was still pulling data it said %u201Cwait%u201D. However it never did list anything whatsoever
By Michelle on 22nd June 2022

(update) Setting the Population to Any (the default) show now use the old method to search and therefore show the old results.
By Free Map Tools on 20th June 2022

Hi! Cities and Towns within a 15-mile radius of %u201CLondon, England%u201D previously returned a couple hundred results. Now it only shows 6 results after the latest changes, no matter what value Population is set to. Is there a way to get the old behaviour back? Thank you.

If we don't want it to show population, is there a button to turn it off?
