Explore Centreville, 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 Centreville, 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 Centreville.
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.

Centreville anchors itself firmly upon the verdant, rolling terrain of central Alabama, where the Cahaba River carves a serpentine path through the landscape. It lies 24.8 miles west-southwest of Calera, AL (from Calera, AL: bearing 244°T), and is situated 1.6 miles east-northeast of Brent. This inland geography defines the town, with the horizon occasionally tracing the faint, distant silhouette of Pea Ridge while the immediate surroundings remain dominated by dense stands of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwoods. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, heavy clarity, casting a deep bronze glow over the red-clay soil that seems to hold the day’s warmth long after the sun has slipped behind the tree line. Just a few miles away, the quiet stillness of Lightseys Pond offers a counterpoint to the persistent, rhythmic flow of the river, while the local ecosystem is strictly protected within the State-owned Submerged Lands that reach directly into the municipal borders.
Centreville carries the weight of a long, agrarian history, having developed as a commercial hub where the timber and agricultural bounty of the surrounding woods and fields were gathered and traded. The local economy persists with a quiet resilience, moving at a pace dictated more by the seasons and the cycle of the forest than by the frenetic demands of larger, distant centers of industry. Walking through the streets, one notices how the architecture reflects a pragmatic, unadorned past, with modest structures built to withstand the humid, heavy air of the interior South. Life in Centreville is defined by these small, steady textures: the sound of water moving over limestone beds, the presence of Goodson Bottoms acting as a natural basin for the regional runoff, and the enduring connection between the people and the land they cultivate.

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.
