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

Hartford is located at 31.1024°N, 85.6969°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Hartford is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 36344.Hartford emerges from the flat, pine-studded plains of lower Alabama as a quiet settlement defined by the slow, deliberate work of the sun on red-clay soil. It lies 17.4 miles south-southeast of Enterprise, AL (from Enterprise, AL: bearing 147°T), and is situated 19.9 miles west-southwest of Dothan. Sunlight filters through the canopy of longleaf pines, casting long, amber shadows that stretch across the fields toward the distant, gentle rise of Coates Hill. A mile from the center, the dark, slow-moving waters of Barnes Creek carve a quiet path through the earth, feeding the moisture-rich bottomlands where hardwoods thrive in the humid air. Five miles away, the landscape dips into the quiet obscurity of Posey Hollow, a depression in the terrain that collects the morning mist before it burns away under the heat of the day.
Hartford draws its character from a legacy of agriculture, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life among the pecan groves and peach orchards that define the surrounding acreage. The economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a history of resilience and steady cultivation that persists even as the modern world shifts around it. For those seeking the quietude of the natural world, the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a protected expanse of wilderness five miles distant, while the waters of Open Pond, fifteen miles away, provide a stillness that mirrors the unhurried temperament of the local people. Life in Hartford moves with a gravity of its own, grounded in the permanence of the soil and the enduring cycles of the harvest.

About This Hartford Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hartford, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.1024, -85.696878. 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 Hartford includes the ZIP code (36344), telephone area code (334), county seat of Geneva County (Geneva), and school district assignment (Geneva 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.
