How to Use This Carlton, Alabama Map

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

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.

Carlton emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed landscape of Clarke County as a quiet settlement defined by the deep red clay that clings to the tires of passing trucks. It lies 38.5 miles north-northeast of Saraland, AL (from Saraland, AL: bearing 20°T), and is situated 11.8 miles south-southeast of Jackson. The earth here is firm and ancient, supporting a canopy of longleaf pine that filters the afternoon light into long, golden slivers across the forest floor. Just a mile to the west, the waters of Mill Creek wind through the low-lying thickets, their movement sluggish and dark against the tangled roots of bottomland hardwoods. To the north, the silhouette of Roundtop Hill rises faintly against the horizon, a reminder of the quiet, geologic patience that characterizes the terrain.

Carlton sustains a rhythm dictated by the harvest cycles and the seasonal shifts of the surrounding timberlands. The local economy remains tethered to the forest and the soil, with the Fred T. Stimpson Community Hunting Area standing as a vast, protected expanse where the woods reclaim the silence of the day. A few miles further, the stillness of Flag Lake provides a mirror for the humid, heavy air that hangs over the region during the summer months. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, where the memory of generations is held in the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the persistent, slow growth of the pecan groves that define the character of the land.
