Explore Center Point, 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 Center Point, 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 Center Point.
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.

Center Point rises from the red-clay earth of northern Jefferson County, where the landscape is defined by a persistent, undulating topography blanketed in dense stands of hardwood and pine. It lies 14.3 miles north-northwest of Troy, AL (from Troy, AL: bearing 331°T), and is situated 28.9 miles south-southeast of Montgomery. Greenbrier Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local terrain, its waters often reflecting the heavy, humid sky that characterizes the inland climate. To the north, the distant, rugged silhouette of Devils Backbone provides a constant, shadowy anchor to the horizon, reminding those who live here of the ancient geological forces that shaped this interior plateau. The light at dusk here possesses a particular amber weight, filtering through the thick canopy to cast long, still shadows across the neighborhood streets and the quiet surface of Brooks Farm Lake just a short distance away.
Center Point maintains a character forged by the transition from rural agricultural roots to the suburban expansion of the mid-twentieth century. While the local economy long relied on the rhythms of trade and small-scale commerce, the area now functions as a residential anchor for the broader region, maintaining a pace that favors steady, everyday routine over the rush of larger industrial hubs. Residents often look toward the wider recreational offerings of the region, such as the trails and open spaces of Murphree Park, to find respite from the hum of modern life. The community retains a distinct sense of persistence, moving forward with a quiet resilience that mirrors the deep-rooted trees and the slow, deliberate movement of the local creek beds.

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.
