Explore Clio, 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 Clio, 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 Clio.
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.

Clio reveals itself through the slow, deliberate movement of Thompson Creek as it carves a persistent path through the red-clay earth of the Alabama landscape. It lies 17.3 miles north of Ozark, AL (from Ozark, AL: bearing 6°T), and is situated 12.1 miles east of Brundidge. The atmosphere here holds a heavy, humid stillness that seems to press against the longleaf pines, while the horizon remains flat and expansive, far removed from any maritime influence. Prices Ponds offer a quiet, mirror-like stillness to the local terrain, reflecting the thick canopy of bottomland hardwoods that define the woods. On the distant horizon, one might catch a faint, hazy suggestion of Center Ridge, a reminder of the rising elevation far beyond these level, fertile fields. The light at dusk settles over the ground like a fine, golden dust, softening the edges of the fields and casting long, indigo shadows that stretch across the rural roads.
Clio emerged as a quiet nexus for the surrounding agricultural life, where the rhythm of the year is dictated by the cycles of peach and pecan harvests. The economy remains tethered to this soil, a legacy that persists in the small-scale commerce and the enduring character of the people who work the land. Five miles away, the State-owned Submerged Lands provide a protected buffer of natural habitat, preserving the wilder aspects of the region against the steady encroaching of modernity. History here is not merely a record of the past but a weight carried in the silence of the afternoon, marked by a deep-seated memory of change and resilience. Life in Clio moves with a quiet, observant pace, where the sound of the wind through the pines and the occasional passage of a vehicle on a red-clay road define the experience of a day unfolding.

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.
