Explore Five Points, 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 Five Points, 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 Five Points.
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.

Five Points emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet convergence of crossroads, where the light at dusk settles heavy and amber against the longleaf pines. It lies 12.8 miles west of Hartselle, AL (from Hartselle, AL: bearing 280°T), and is situated 7.8 miles east of Moulton. The landscape here is defined by a slow, rhythmic subsidence into the earth, characterized by the damp, shadowed depths of Happy Hollow just two miles distant. West Flint Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the brush only a mile away, its presence marked by the persistent, low-frequency hum of insects that thrive in the humid, inland air. To the north, the distant, hazy silhouette of Chestnut Ridge anchors the horizon, a reminder of the geological weight that presses down upon these plains, while the silty soil clings to the boots of anyone who walks the periphery of the woods.
Economic life in Five Points has long been tethered to the slow yield of the land and the quiet endurance of those who work it, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs. The proximity to the William B. Bankhead National Forest, which begins six miles out, dictates a culture of deep familiarity with the timbered expanse, where the economy of wood and field remains etched into the daily habits of the residents. A sense of stillness pervades the afternoon, broken only by the occasional truck rattling toward the distant shade of Oakville Pond, a small, reflective eye in the landscape two miles away. History here is not a loud proclamation but a quiet accumulation of decades, felt in the way the morning fog clings to the fences and the manner in which the town maintains its focus on the immediate, tangible labor of the day.

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.
