How to Use This Abanda, Alabama Map

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

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.

About Abanda, Alabama

Abanda holds its shape in the red-clay silence of the Alabama interior, where the land tilts toward the quiet passage of Caty Creek. It lies 26.9 miles east-northeast of Alexander City, AL (from Alexander City, AL: bearing 66°T), and is situated 9.8 miles west-southwest of Roanoke. The horizon toward the west is defined by the faint, jagged suggestion of Evan Ridge, a distant spine that keeps the sky from feeling entirely flat. Only a mile away, the State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a quiet, untamed corridor of earth, while the waters of Clegg and Pearson Lake rest in a shallow basin just two miles to the north. In the late afternoon, the light here thickens, turning the pine needles into needles of copper and casting long, bruised shadows across the damp, iron-rich soil that defines the local geology.

Abanda remains a place of deep, quiet persistence, rooted in a history of agriculture that once turned on the cycle of the seasons and the heavy, humid heat of the interior. The local economy persists in the rhythm of small-scale commerce and the slow movement of timber, echoing a time when the rails dictated the pulse of the countryside. There is a specific gravity to the days here, a weight that settles in when the humidity rises and the air turns thick with the scent of damp bark and cooling earth. Residents move with a deliberate, measured pace, acknowledging the legacy of the land in the way they work the fields and maintain the frame houses that have weathered decades of sun and storm. It is a locality where the past is not a museum piece but a lived condition, visible in the way the morning mist clings to the trees along the creek and the steady, unadorned way the day concludes.

About This Abanda Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Abanda, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.091627, -85.527029. 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 Abanda includes the ZIP code (36276), telephone area code (334), county seat of Chambers County (LaFayette), and school district assignment (Chambers 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.
