How to Use This Grimes, Alabama Map

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

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.

Grimes reveals itself through the low, humid hum of longleaf pine forests and the dark, mineral-heavy scent of damp earth. It lies 10.7 miles east-southeast of Tuscaloosa, AL (from Tuscaloosa, AL: bearing 106°T), and is situated 7.1 miles southeast of Holt. The landscape settles into a quiet permanence, shaped by the moisture-laden air that clings to the skin and the slow, deliberate movement of Bee Branch as it carves a path through the brush. To the north, the distant outline of Pleasant Ridge provides a steady, silent boundary to the horizon, while the terrain dips into the quiet, shadowed depths of Opossum Hollow. Frierson Lake rests at the center of this terrain, its surface mirroring the shifting gray and gold light of the afternoon, undisturbed save for the occasional ripple of a dragonfly.

Grimes carries the weight of a quiet, agrarian history, where the economy remains tied to the cycles of the red clay soil and the patient growth of pecan orchards. The proximity to State-owned Submerged Lands offers a preserved expanse of natural territory, keeping the pulse of the environment steady against the encroachment of modern industry. Life in Grimes moves with the unforced cadence of the seasons, characterized by the persistence of those who work the land and the deep, enduring quiet that settles after the heat of the day subsides. Here, the memory of the past lingers in the architecture and the deliberate pace of daily life, where the stillness of the afternoon is a tangible presence rather than an absence of sound.

About This Grimes Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grimes, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.299875, -85.450289. 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 Grimes includes the ZIP code (36350, 35453, 36303), telephone area code (256, 334), county seat of Tuscaloosa County (Tuscaloosa), and school district assignment (Dale 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.
