How to Use This Fredonia, Alabama Map

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

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.

Fredonia emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of structures defined by the persistent, winding presence of Hardley Creek. It lies 13.4 miles north-northwest of Valley, AL (from Valley, AL: bearing 332°T), and is situated 9.9 miles northwest of West Point. The landscape here is defined by a slow, deliberate cadence, where the humid air softens the edges of longleaf pine stands and bottomland hardwoods that crowd the low-lying areas. Two miles to the east, the expansive surface of West Point Lake captures the fading light of dusk, reflecting a sky that stretches wide over the inland plains. The soil, a deep and vivid iron-rich hue, anchors the regional character, grounding the horizon where the distant rise of Hogg Mountain creates a faint, serrated silhouette against the western haze.

Fredonia retains the quiet gravity of a settlement shaped by generations of agrarian labor and the steady accumulation of local memory. While the economy has shifted from the intense cultivation of earlier eras, the rhythms of the day remain tethered to the land, moving in sync with the seasonal cycles of pecan orchards and the shifting canopy of the surrounding woods. Residents often look toward the recreational expanse of West Point Lake for a reprieve from the heavy summer heat, finding solace in the stillness of the water. Life in Fredonia persists without pretense, marked by the simple, enduring architecture of mid-century storefronts and the quietude of back roads that wind through the timber, preserving a solitude that feels as ancient as the creek itself.

About This Fredonia Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fredonia, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.989846, -85.288556. 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 Fredonia includes the ZIP code (36855), telephone area code (251), county seat of Chambers County (LaFayette), and school district assignment (Chambers 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.
