How to Use This Edwardsville, Alabama Map

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

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.

Edwardsville emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet accumulation of dwellings and timber, defined by the persistent, humid warmth that clings to the longleaf pines and hardwood stands. It lies 4.9 miles east-northeast of Gadsden, AL (from Gadsden, AL: bearing 69°T), and is situated 8.8 miles northeast of Rainbow City. The Coosa River flows a mere mile away, carving a path through the landscape that dictates the slow, deliberate moisture of the soil. To the west, the distant outline of Big Mountain anchors the horizon, while the proximity of Estess Lake provides a glassy, reflective stillness to the local geography. Nearby, the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a protected expanse of terrain that emphasizes the raw, untamed character of this inland reach. The air here holds a heavy, velvet quality at dusk, when the light shifts from a sharp, bleached gold to a deep indigo, casting long, lean shadows across the fields.

Edwardsville carries the weight of a long, localized history, grounded in the agrarian rhythms of a region known for its stubborn, productive soil. The economy remains tethered to the land and the modest commerce that supports those who work it, moving at a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the clock. Residents often speak of the nearby Fords Valley as a natural boundary of the local identity, a place where the geography creates a distinct sense of enclosure and belonging. While the rushing waters of Noccalula Falls lie only five miles distant, the daily life of Edwardsville is defined by the steady, quiet maintenance of homes and the enduring connections of its people. It is a place where the past is not a museum piece but a layer of sediment beneath the surface, recognizable in the way the morning fog settles over the timber and the way the evening silence gathers in the trees.

About This Edwardsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Edwardsville, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.88374, -85.414124. 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 Edwardsville includes the ZIP code (35901, 36261, 36262), telephone area code (334, 205), county seat of Etowah County (Gadsden), and school district assignment (Cleburne 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.
