How to Use This Headland, Alabama Map

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

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.

Headland emerges from the flat, fertile plains of the Wiregrass region, defined by the quiet passage of White Branch as it meanders through the landscape. It lies 9.3 miles north-northeast of Dothan, AL (from Dothan, AL: bearing 18°T), and is situated 3.6 miles north of Kinsey. The earth here is composed of a rich, deep soil that supports a lush canopy of longleaf pines and hardwood trees, providing a verdant backdrop to the daily cycle of light. To the north, the distant silhouette of River Hill catches the amber glow of the setting sun, grounding the horizon in a steady, geologic permanence. Residents often find solace in the open spaces of Douglas Park, where the air remains heavy and still under the shade of mature timber. Even the proximity of Lake Arthur, just a short journey away, contributes to the humid, tranquil atmosphere that defines the local weather patterns.
