Explore Geraldine, 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 Geraldine, 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 Geraldine.
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.

Geraldine rises from the red-clay earth of the plateau, defined by the quiet persistence of Little Scarham Creek as it carves a path through the surrounding woodland. It lies 13.2 miles east-northeast of Albertville, AL (from Albertville, AL: bearing 64°T), and is situated 4.4 miles north of Crossville. The landscape here is characterized by the modest elevation of Red Hill punctuating the horizon, while the terrain slopes gently toward the nearby basin of Dugout Valley. Within the immediate vicinity, the atmosphere holds a heavy, humid stillness, particularly when the afternoon light catches the verdant canopy of longleaf pine. Residents often find their way to Geraldine Town Park, a local space that anchors the center of the daily routine, offering a patch of green where the air feels scrubbed clean by the passage of the seasons. Five miles distant, the expansive surface of Guntersville Lake reflects the shifting sky, its presence tempering the heat that settles over the fields during the long, languid months of summer.
Agriculture and the steady pulse of regional commerce have long shaped the character of Geraldine, grounding its economy in the productive soil that once drew settlers to this inland expanse. History here is marked by the quiet endurance of families who have worked this land, their legacy etched into the layout of the roads and the modest structures that define the local architecture. In the cool hours of the morning, the pace of life remains deliberate, influenced by a tradition of self-reliance and a connection to the cycles of the harvest. Whether attending to the needs of the fields or navigating the quiet commerce of the main thoroughfares, the people of Geraldine maintain a social rhythm that values consistency over spectacle. This is a place where the passage of time is measured not by grand events, but by the subtle changes in the color of the grass and the deepening shadows that stretch across the valley floor as the sun retreats.

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.
