Explore Epes, 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 Epes, 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 Epes.
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.

Epes claims its space where the heavy, humid air of the Black Belt settles over the dark, fertile soil. It lies 48.3 miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, AL (from Tuscaloosa, AL: bearing 222°T), and is situated 8.1 miles north-northeast of Livingston. The landscape surrounding Epes is defined by the steady, winding movement of Wiggins Creek, which carves a path through the low-lying timber and dense thickets of bottomland hardwood. To the east, the horizon is anchored by the distant silhouette of Beach Ridge, while the stillness of Demopolis Lake lies just a mile away, mirroring the shifting hues of the afternoon sky. The land here possesses a quiet gravity, where the deep red clay roadbeds hold the imprint of heavy rains and the tall grasses lean in the wake of the wind, creating a terrain that feels ancient and unhurried in its slow, seasonal decay.
Epes carries the weight of a complex history, its character forged by the cycles of agriculture that have long dictated the pace of life in this corner of the state. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the earth, where the labor of the field and the quiet industry of the roadside intersect under the shade of longleaf pines. Life here is measured by the gradual transition of the seasons and the memory of those who have moved through the nearby Bryant Gulley, leaving behind a legacy that lingers in the quietude of the surroundings. Even the proximity to the State-owned Submerged Lands serves as a reminder of the wilder, untamed remnants of the region, ensuring that Epes remains a place where the modern world feels distant, eclipsed by the enduring presence of the woods and the water.

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.
