How to Use This Hanover, Alabama Map

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

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.

About Hanover, Alabama

Hanover is a locality in Coosa County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 151. The population density is 13.8 people per km². Hanover is located at 33.0048°N, 86.2025°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 35136, 35072.

Hanover occupies a quiet expanse of Alabama where the earth is stained a deep, rust-colored red and the low-slung horizon remains unbroken by any jagged peak. It lies 12.0 miles south-southeast of Sylacauga, AL (from Sylacauga, AL: bearing 166°T), and is situated 15.0 miles west-northwest of Alexander City. Chipco Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the landscape, its slow movement defining the drainage of the surrounding woods and fields. Terrapin Hill rises to the north, a modest elevation that anchors the view for those traveling the secondary roads, while the distant, dense timber of Weogufka State Forest suggests the wilder, shadowed character of the region. As dusk settles, the heavy, humid air seems to cling to the longleaf pines, softening the sharp edges of the day until the light fades into a bruised, monochromatic gray.

Hanover exists as a place where the rhythms of the land remain largely tethered to the cycles of agriculture and the quiet endurance of its inhabitants. Local life is shaped by the proximity of the Coosa Wildlife Management Area, which preserves a portion of the wilder, untamed acreage that once dominated this interior territory. While the proximity of Mitchell Lake offers a singular point of stillness for the surrounding area, the economy remains rooted in the timber and soil that have sustained families for generations. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of the back roads and the persistent growth of hardwood stands that reclaim the edges of old homesteads, marking the passage of time with the slow, steady expansion of root and branch.

About This Hanover Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hanover, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.004843, -86.202472. 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 Hanover includes the ZIP code (35136, 35072), telephone area code (205, 256), county seat of Coosa County (Rockford), and school district assignment (Coosa 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.
