Explore Brookwood, 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 Brookwood, 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 Brookwood.
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.

Brookwood emerges from a landscape defined by the heavy, humid breath of the deep interior, where the earth is stained a deep, iron-rich red. It lies 14.7 miles east-northeast of Tuscaloosa, AL (from Tuscaloosa, AL: bearing 77°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east of Holt. The terrain here rises toward the spine of Pleasant Ridge, casting long shadows over the dense woodlands where longleaf pine and hardwoods crowd the thickets. Just a mile away, the quiet current of Blanchet Branch carves a narrow path through the soil, offering a cool, shaded reprieve from the summer heat. A few miles further, Holt Lake holds the light of the setting sun in a glass-still expanse, reflecting the sky with a clarity that softens the jagged edges of the surrounding timberland.
Brookwood bears the weight of a history rooted in the extraction of the earth’s own marrow, as coal mining has long dictated the pulse and prosperity of the local economy. Beyond the industrial rhythms of the mines, the land remains marked by the quiet stretches of the State-owned Submerged Lands, which preserve a portion of the wilder, undisturbed character of the region. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of those who live in close proximity to the soil and the seam, far removed from the pressures of the coast. The legacy of the area is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of the people who have worked these woods and ridges for generations, finding a quiet beauty in the way the twilight settles over the red-clay roads.

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.
