How to Use This Butler, Alabama Map

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

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.

Butler emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed expanse of the Alabama interior, where the land yields to the quiet, persistent current of Spear Creek. It lies 34.0 miles southeast of Meridian, MS (from Meridian, MS: bearing 124°T), and is situated 13.3 miles south-southwest of Indian Springs. The horizon is defined by the silhouette of Potato Ridge, a rise that breaks the monotony of the woodland and anchors the view against a sky that often turns a bruised, humid violet at dusk. Within the low-lying reaches, the air carries the heavy, earthen scent of damp loam and longleaf pine, creating a landscape that feels suspended in a perpetual, thick-aired afternoon. Two miles from the center, the stillness of the City of Butler Sewage Lagoon reflects the clouds, a functional mirror in a territory otherwise defined by the unruly, tangled growth of bottomland hardwood.

History in Butler lingers in the unvarnished architecture of the streets and the steady, cyclical labor of the local timber and agricultural trades. The economy persists through the extraction of natural resources and the quiet endurance of those who work the red-clay soil, maintaining a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the frantic ticking of a clock. Seven miles away, the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a glimpse of the region’s untamed character, protecting the wilder, wetter margins of the county from the encroaching reach of development. Life in Butler remains tethered to these ancient, wooded rhythms, where the weight of the past is not a museum exhibit but a physical presence felt in the sudden, sharp cooling of the evening breeze as it settles over the pines.

About This Butler Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Butler, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.096479, -88.210781. 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 Butler includes the ZIP code (36904), telephone area code (205, 251, 256, 334, 938), county seat of Choctaw County (Butler), and school district assignment (Choctaw 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.
