How to Use This Grant, Alabama Map

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

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.

Grant occupies a high, expansive plateau where the air gathers a peculiar, heavy stillness before the evening shadows stretch across the red-clay earth. It lies 15.9 miles southwest of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 232°T), and is situated 8.1 miles east of New Hope. Beyond the immediate horizon, the elevation rises toward the prominence of Soda Top, casting a long, cooling shade over the surrounding terrain. Moisture collects in the low-lying basin of Fletcher Hollow, where the land transitions into dense woodland, and the gentle, persistent movement of Old Union Branch carves a narrow path through the undergrowth. Only two miles distant, the quiet surface of Woodland Lake reflects the shifting colors of the sky, acting as a mirror for the longleaf pines that stand in ragged, silent ranks against the afternoon light.

Agriculture defines the slow, deliberate pulse of Grant, as the economy remains deeply tethered to the cycles of the soil and the local harvest. Visitors often gravitate toward the subterranean stillness of Cathedral Caverns State Park, where the earth reveals its ancient, calcified architecture in the dark, silent chambers hidden three miles away. The character of Grant is shaped by this proximity to the subterranean and the agrarian, a place where the pace of life mimics the patient growth of the orchards and the endurance of the hardwood forests. Here, the hum of daily industry is muted by the vastness of the plateau, leaving the residents to organize their days around the steady, predictable rhythms of a landscape that demands both labor and quiet observation.

About This Grant Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grant, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.518173, -86.26043. 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 Grant includes the ZIP code (35747), telephone area code (256), county seat of Marshall County (Guntersville), and school district assignment (Marshall 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.
