How to Use This Cowarts, Alabama Map

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

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.

Cowarts sits firmly upon the inland plains of southeastern Alabama, where the horizon is defined by the persistent, quiet reach of longleaf pine and the deep, iron-rich hue of red-clay roads. It lies 5.3 miles east-southeast of Dothan, AL (from Dothan, AL: bearing 107°T), and is situated 10.0 miles east-northeast of Taylor. The landscape here is defined by a subtle, deliberate flatness that gives way to the occasional indentation of a creek bed, most notably the path of Crawford Creek, which winds through the verdant landscape just a mile from the center of the settlement. Sunlight in Cowarts has a particular, heavy quality during the afternoons, thickening as it filters through the canopy of bottomland hardwood and illuminating the fine, dust-moted air that clings to the fields. For those seeking the quietude of the outdoors, the Winegrass Park & Recreation Center provides a localized expanse for respite, offering a contrast to the agricultural rhythm that governs the surrounding acreage.

Historical patterns in Cowarts reflect the broader evolution of the region, where the economy has long been tethered to the productivity of the soil and the steady hand of local industry. The commerce of the area pulses with the seasonal cycle of pecan harvests and the maintenance of essential trade routes that facilitate the movement of goods across the inland interior. Life here retains a distinct, unhurried composure, a social texture shaped by the memory of generations who have worked this clay and navigated the humid, fertile seasons. While the distance to the nearest water, such as Open Pond, spans seventeen miles, the people of Cowarts look inward toward their own fields and corridors, finding a sense of permanence in the steady, quiet expansion of their own small-scale enterprises and the enduring character of their neighbors.

About This Cowarts Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cowarts, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.200177, -85.304655. 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 Cowarts includes the ZIP code (36321, 36303), telephone area code (334), county seat of Houston County (Dothan), and school district assignment (Houston 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.
