How to Use This Brantley, Alabama Map

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

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.

Brantley emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of life held firmly within the inland plains of Alabama. It lies 4.6 miles east-northeast of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 71°T), and is situated 6.0 miles south-southeast of Valley Grande. The horizon here remains modest, defined by the gentle rise of distant Fall Line Hills that trace a hazy blue line against the sky, while the immediate landscape is composed of thick woodlands and fields that seem to breathe under the weight of a heavy, humid sun. Sunlight filters through the canopy in narrow, golden shafts, illuminating the quiet stillness that surrounds the nearby J Friday Number 1 Lake, where the water remains undisturbed by the haste of the modern world. Even the air feels weighted with the scent of pine and damp earth, a sensory anchor that grounds the observer in the persistent, unchanging texture of the inland woods.

Brantley holds the memory of generations within its quiet streets, where the local economy continues to draw its strength from the cycles of timber and agriculture that have long defined this region. The influence of the Alabama River, flowing four miles away, has shaped the settlement’s long relationship with the land, providing a silent, constant artery that has nourished the surrounding soil for decades. Life in Brantley maintains a deliberate pace, punctuated by the simple activities of a Tuesday afternoon or the laughter echoing from the City Pool And Playground, where the community finds a common space for recreation. There is a particular clarity to the evenings here, when the heat retreats and the shadows lengthen across the porch steps, revealing a place that values the slow accumulation of time over the fleeting urgency of elsewhere.

About This Brantley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brantley, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.581992, -86.256784. 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 Brantley includes the ZIP code (36703, 36009), telephone area code (334, 251), county seat of Dallas County (Selma), and school district assignment (Crenshaw 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.
