Explore Dunnavant, 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 Dunnavant, 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 Dunnavant.
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.

Dunnavant emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed landscape where the Big Branch carves a quiet, persistent path through the red-clay soil. It lies 3.8 miles south of Leeds, AL (from Leeds, AL: bearing 180°T), and is situated 9.5 miles south-southeast of Trussville. The terrain surrounding Dunnavant ripples into a series of woodland slopes, occasionally breaking into the secluded embrace of Roaring Hollow to the east. Travelers moving toward the horizon might catch a glimpse of Higdon Point rising against the sky, a silent sentinel over the thickets and bottomland hardwoods that define this inland geography. During the humid afternoons, the light filters through the canopy in muted shades of amber, catching the moisture in the air and settling over the land with a heavy, deliberate stillness.
History persists here in the remnants of older homesteads and the slow, rural pace that characterizes daily life away from the bustle of commerce. The economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a quiet continuity that favors small-scale stewardship over rapid expansion. Residents often find respite in the quiet corners of Vandiver Park, where the natural foliage provides a sanctuary from the heat of the summer months. Those seeking the cooling presence of water often drift toward The Narrows, where the landscape softens and the stillness of the afternoon is punctuated only by the movement of the wind through the pines. In Dunnavant, the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the subtle shifts in the canopy and the persistent, low murmur of the Big Branch as it flows toward the unseen rivers beyond.

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.
