Explore Demopolis, 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 Demopolis, 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 Demopolis.
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.

Demopolis occupies a singular position where the steady, dark current of the Tombigbee River carves a path through the Black Belt. It lies 48.1 miles west of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 279°T), and is situated 19.0 miles southwest of Greensboro. The landscape around Demopolis unfolds in wide, fertile expanses that transition into the rising slopes of Beach Ridge just a few miles to the east. Sunlight here often takes on a heavy, golden quality, catching the moisture that hangs above Demopolis Lake and clinging to the thickets of bottomland hardwood. To the west, the land dips toward the low, shadowed expanse of The Fork, creating a geography defined by the slow movement of water and the persistence of the soil. This inland stretch of earth remains far from any coast, governed instead by the rhythmic, quiet expansion of the riverbanks.
Demopolis carries the imprint of early settlers who arrived with hopes of carving a new life from the dense, tangled woodlands of the interior. The local economy has long drawn its strength from the river and the surrounding fields, where agriculture and forestry remain vital fibers of daily life. Industrial growth has followed the water, utilizing the Tombigbee River as a primary artery for the movement of goods and raw materials. Generations of labor have shaped the town’s character, grounding it in the steady, pragmatic pace of a place that values production and land stewardship. The quiet hum of machinery and the movement of freight along the waterway continue to sustain the families who have called this inland territory home for decades.
Demopolis centers its social life upon the Demopolis Public Square, a common ground where the shade of mature trees offers respite from the humid afternoons. The cultural spirit of the area is marked by a deep sense of continuity, seen in the preservation of historic architecture that stands as a quiet witness to the passing years. Local events often draw the community together under the open sky, celebrating the traditions that define life in this region. While the town remains modest in its scale, it has produced figures of broad influence, such as the writer George Washington Cable, who spent time in the region and whose observations helped shape the literary understanding of the South. Life proceeds here with an intentional, deliberate focus, moving in harmony with the cycles of the seasons and the slow, inevitable flow of the river.

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.
