How to Use This Delta, Alabama Map

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

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.

About Delta, Alabama

Delta is a locality in Clay County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 260. The population density is 12.9 people per km². Delta is located at 33.4405°N, 85.6759°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 36258.

Delta emerges from the red-clay landscape where the waters of the Little Ketchepedrakee Creek carve a quiet path through the earth. It lies 14.6 miles southeast of Oxford, AL (from Oxford, AL: bearing 145°T), and is situated 9.7 miles north-northeast of Lineville. The terrain surrounding Delta is defined by the heavy, iron-rich soil that clings to the boots of those who walk its paths, while the horizon is anchored by the distant silhouette of Tater Hill Mountain. Light here possesses a thick, amber quality in the late afternoon, filtering through the dense canopy of the Talladega National Forest just a short distance away. Residents often look toward the basin of Fishhead Valley, where the air cools and settles in the evening, cooling the humid heat that rises from the dense woodland floor.

Economic life in Delta remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the land, echoing a history built on the cultivation of the soil and the stewardship of the surrounding timber. The presence of Lake Virginia and the adjacent Clay County Public Fishing Lake provides a focal point for the quiet, rhythmic patterns of daily existence, where the passage of time is marked more by the growth of crops than by the ticking of a clock. While the Odum Trail invites a steady, measured pace for those traversing the higher ground, the community itself maintains a focused, grounded character, reflecting a heritage that respects the permanence of the woods and the persistent flow of local streams.

About This Delta Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Delta, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.440524, -85.675905. 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 Delta includes the ZIP code (36258), telephone area code (334), county seat of Clay County (Ashland), and school district assignment (Clay 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.
