How to Use This Edgewater, Alabama Map

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

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.

Edgewater rises from the red-clay earth of the Alabama interior, where the persistent current of Camp Branch carves a path through the quiet, humid landscape. It lies 5.7 miles north-northeast of Hueytown, AL (from Hueytown, AL: bearing 23°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west of Birmingham. The terrain around Edgewater is defined by the steady, low-slung presence of the land, punctuated by the shadows of Irish Hill looming four miles to the distance. Bayview Lake remains a constant, reflective presence at the center of the local geography, offering a mirror to the heavy, moisture-laden skies that settle over the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands. Sunlight here often takes on a thick, honeyed quality in the late afternoon, filtering through the dense hardwoods to illuminate the fine, iron-rich dust that coats the back roads and the edges of Harden Hollow.

Edgewater carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, rooted in the extraction and movement of resources that once powered the regional economy. The landscape bears the marks of this history, where the remnants of labor are slowly reclaimed by the encroaching thickets of longleaf pine and native growth. Life in Edgewater moves at the deliberate pace of the seasons, shaped by the cycles of the inland climate and the quiet persistence of those who call these wooded hills home. While the hum of heavy industry has faded from its peak, the character of the place remains fixed in its connection to the soil and the slow, rhythmic flow of the local waterways that define its borders.
