Explore Andalusia, Alabama, 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 Andalusia, 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 Andalusia.
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.

Andalusia emerges from the inland plains as a place where the light of late afternoon catches the dust of red-clay roads. It lies 37.1 miles west of Enterprise, AL (from Enterprise, AL: bearing 269°T), and is situated 13.6 miles west of Opp. The landscape surrounding Andalusia reveals a quiet expanse of woodland and open fields that stretch toward the horizon. Red Wash Hill stands as a silent sentinel twelve miles to the distance, breaking the otherwise steady, level rhythm of the earth. Robinson Memorial Park provides a central green space for the public, grounding the local geography in a familiar, accessible terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the dense vegetation of Conecuh National Forest waits seventeen miles away, offering a deep, dark contrast to the sun-drenched clearings that define the regional character.
Andalusia grew from the necessity of the land, serving as a hub for the timber and agricultural interests that shaped its earliest foundations. The local economy thrives on the steady output of manufacturing and the careful stewardship of timber resources that have long anchored the labor of the populace. Small-scale farming remains a vital thread here, with rows of crops reflecting the patient, seasonal labor that defines the working day. Business interests continue to evolve, moving from the traditional extraction industries toward a more diversified landscape of production and commerce. This industrious spirit maintains a consistent momentum, ensuring that the legacy of earlier generations remains visible in the current operations of the region.
Andalusia carries a distinct cultural weight, fostered by a collective memory that values the quiet persistence of its residents. The town square remains a primary landmark where the architecture speaks of a time when craftsmanship was the standard for public buildings. Local events often gather the populace in communal celebration, reinforcing the bonds that define the social character of the area. Notable figures such as the musician Hank Williams, who spent significant time in the region during his formative years, left an indelible mark on the cultural consciousness of the surrounding area. Life moves with a deliberate pace here, defined by the changing colors of the seasons and the simple, enduring habits of those who call the region home.

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.
