Explore Hammondville, 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 Hammondville, 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 Hammondville.
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.

Hammondville anchors itself where the quiet, persistent flow of Thomas Branch cuts through the red-clay earth, defining the rhythm of the landscape. It lies 10.9 miles north-northeast of Fort Payne, AL (from Fort Payne, AL: bearing 29°T), and is situated 8.8 miles east-southeast of Henagar. The terrain rises steadily toward the shadows of Little Ridge, a mile away, where the light shifts from the pale gold of morning to a deep, bruised violet as it catches the pines. Residents gather at Hammondville Town Park to mark the passing of the seasons, watching the sky darken over the dense, inland canopy. Three miles distant, the waters of Moon Lake remain a constant, silent presence, while the distant, rushing descent of De Soto Falls occasionally drifts into the humid air, carrying the coolness of the higher elevations down into the low-lying basin of Polecat Hollow.
Hammondville grew from a landscape defined by the slow, deliberate labor of the soil and the steady extraction of resources from the surrounding woods. The local economy persists through a quiet tradition of agriculture and timber, where the pace of commerce is dictated not by the digital clock, but by the turning of the seasons and the needs of the neighboring land. History here is kept in the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the enduring structure of the older, wood-framed houses that have weathered decades of heavy, humid summers. People move through their days with a grounded awareness of their surroundings, recognizing that the prosperity of Hammondville is tied to the health of the earth and the steady, unpretentious flow of the local creeks that have nourished this settlement since its earliest days.

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.
