How to Use This Faunsdale, Alabama Map

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

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.

Faunsdale emerges from the dark, fertile soil of the Black Belt, where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a sky that seems to hold the weight of the coming afternoon. It lies 33.6 miles west of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 276°T), and is situated 14.7 miles east-southeast of Demopolis. The landscape around Faunsdale is defined by the slow, deliberate movement of Powell Creek, which carves a quiet path through the dense bottomland hardwoods that define the local canopy. Far to the south, the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth, while the distant, jagged silhouette of Beach Ridge haunts the western skyline like a memory of harder, rockier terrain. In the quiet transition of dusk, the light turns a bruised violet, casting long, thin shadows over the fields and reflecting faintly upon the still, glassy surface of Lake Roseland.

Agriculture remains the pulse of this place, where the legacy of cotton and timber continues to dictate the slow turn of the calendar. The proximity of the David K. Nelson (Demopolis) Wildlife Management Area preserves a sprawling, wilder character that contrasts with the orderly rows of the surrounding farmland. Faunsdale carries the quiet gravity of a history shaped by labor and the slow, persistent reclamation of nature, where the red-clay back roads lead to homesteads that have weathered generations of heat and rain. Life here maintains a cadence dictated by the seasons rather than the clock, a subtle endurance that persists in the way the local residents observe the heat of the day and the encroaching silence of the woods.

About This Faunsdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Faunsdale, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.459859, -87.593894. 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 Faunsdale includes the ZIP code (36738), telephone area code (334), county seat of Marengo County (Linden), and school district assignment (Marengo 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.
