How to Use This Blue Ridge, Alabama Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Blue Ridge, 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 Blue Ridge.

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 Blue Ridge, Alabama

Blue Ridge is a locality in Elmore County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,485. The population density is 73.9 people per km². Blue Ridge is located at 32.4989°N, 86.1824°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 36093.

Blue Ridge occupies a landscape defined by the quiet tenacity of red-clay earth and the enduring presence of longleaf pines that stand as silent sentinels over the undulating terrain. It lies 10.0 miles east of Millbrook, AL (from Millbrook, AL: bearing 85°T), and is situated 3.7 miles south-southeast of Wetumpka. A local creek winds its way through the dense undergrowth, its path marked by the persistent moisture that feeds the hardwood thickets bordering the fields. Three miles to the north, the elevation rises toward the slopes of Bald Knob, which anchors the horizon in a soft, hazy silhouette against the persistent heat of the afternoon. As the sun begins to decline, the quality of light transforms the atmosphere, casting a heavy, golden glow that settles into the low-lying hollows and turns the dust of the back roads into a shimmering, copper-colored haze.

Blue Ridge maintains a character shaped by the steady, measured pace of agricultural life, where the cultivation of peaches and pecans remains a cornerstone of the regional identity. The legacy of the land is further preserved at Fort Toulouse National Historic Park, where the echoes of colonial frontiers and indigenous history converge just four miles away, offering a somber point of reflection upon the transitions of the past. Beyond the park, the expansive Coosa Valley exerts a subtle influence on the local economy, providing the fertile foundation upon which the patterns of daily work and commerce are organized. Life in Blue Ridge moves with an intentionality that honors the weight of its history, while the rhythm of the seasons dictates the quiet prosperity of those who continue to labor in the soil.

About This Blue Ridge Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Blue Ridge, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.4989, -86.182436. 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 Blue Ridge includes the ZIP code (36093), telephone area code (334, 251), county seat of Elmore County (Wetumpka), and school district assignment (Elmore 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.
