How to Use This Alexandria, Alabama Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alexandria, 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 Alexandria.
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 Alexandria, Alabama
Alexandria is a locality in Calhoun County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,032. The population density is 139.8 people per km². Alexandria is located at 33.7608°N, 85.8720°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 36250, 36265.Alexandria occupies a quiet expanse of land where the horizon softens into the gentle, persistent rise of the earth. It lies 5.8 miles north-northwest of Saks, AL (from Saks, AL: bearing 333°T), and is situated 8.5 miles north-northwest of Anniston. Red-clay soil defines the character of the ground, holding the warmth of the sun long after the afternoon light has begun to slant across the fields. Beyond the immediate reach of the local creek, the landscape opens into the broad, fertile floor of Alexandria Valley, a basin that seems to gather the stillness of the day. In the distance, the faint, blue-tinted silhouettes of the Beaver Creek Mountains provide a permanent, silent boundary to the view, while the air carries the heavy, humid scent of damp earth and late-summer growth.
History in Alexandria remains tied to the slow, deliberate work of the land and the endurance of those who cultivate it. Agriculture has long dictated the pace of life here, moving in rhythm with the changing seasons and the requirements of the harvest. While the Mountain Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge preserves a fragment of the wilder, historic ecosystem nearby, the daily industry of Alexandria relies on the steady persistence of local trade and the quiet commerce of the road. Generations have built their lives upon these plains, leaving behind a legacy that is measured not in grand monuments, but in the enduring structure of family homes and the shared knowledge of the fields. Even as the modern world shifts, the character of the place persists, grounded in the red dust and the unchanging cycle of the seasons.

About This Alexandria Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Alexandria, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.760819, -85.872008. 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 Alexandria includes the ZIP code (36250, 36265), telephone area code (334), county seat of Calhoun County (Anniston), and school district assignment (Calhoun 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.
