How to Use This Glen Allen, Alabama Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Glen Allen, 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 Glen Allen.
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.

ZIP codes: 35594, 35559.Glen Allen emerges from the red-clay landscape where the persistent waters of Tucker Branch carve a quiet, serpentine path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 27.3 miles west-northwest of Jasper, AL (from Jasper, AL: bearing 282°T), and is situated 4.4 miles east-southeast of Winfield. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the longleaf pines and hardwood stands, muffling the passage of time. Nine miles to the west, the dark silhouette of Ford Mountain anchors the horizon, providing a constant, brooding backdrop to the surrounding expanse of thickets and brush. Sunlight often catches the iron-rich soil, casting a warm, copper glow over the fields as the day wanes, turning the open spaces into a study of deep amber and shadow.
Glen Allen maintains a deliberate, measured cadence defined by a legacy of industry and the slow cultivation of the earth. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the three-mile proximity to the State-owned Submerged Lands offers a preserved glimpse into the region’s untamed character, far removed from the bustle of denser hubs. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, drawing from the resources of the nearby Fayette State Experiment Forest, which stands as a testament to the methodical study of silviculture. For those seeking a wider expanse of water, County Lake remains the singular destination for the quiet reflection of a cooling afternoon, completing the geography of a place that finds its meaning in the unremarkable, steady pulse of inland life.

About This Glen Allen Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Glen Allen, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.892108, -87.732682. 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 Glen Allen includes the ZIP code (35594, 35559), telephone area code (205), county seat of Marion County (Hamilton), and school district assignment (Fayette 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.
