How to Use This Hollis Crossroads, Alabama Map

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

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.

Hollis Crossroads emerges from the red-clay landscape where the winding path of Carr Creek carves a persistent, muddy vein through the earth. It lies 13.0 miles east-southeast of Oxford, AL (from Oxford, AL: bearing 119°T), and is situated 9.1 miles south-southwest of Heflin. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the longleaf pines and thickets of bottomland hardwood, softening the sharp edges of the horizon. To the east, the silhouette of Kemp Mountain rises as a muted, permanent guardian against the sky, while the proximity of Gold Mine Lakes provides a glassy, reflective stillness to the immediate topography. Nearby, the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a quiet expanse of protected terrain, keeping the wilder pulse of the woods intact just a mile from the crossroads. As the sun dips toward the edge of Fishhead Valley, the light turns a deep, bruised copper, illuminating the fine dust that rises from the back roads to coat the leaves of wild sumac in a thin, rust-colored veil.

Economic life in Hollis Crossroads remains tethered to the slow, steady cycles of the land, echoing a history defined by small-scale agriculture and the quiet persistence of those who work the soil. While the distant, dense canopy of the Talladega National Forest reminds inhabitants of the vast, untamed timberland that once defined this region, the local rhythm is dictated by the modest demands of the road and the changing seasons of the crops. The identity of Hollis Crossroads is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring character of the intersection itself, where the convergence of routes keeps the place tethered to the wider world. Here, the legacy of the past is felt in the way the morning fog settles into the low-lying fields, a damp, lingering memory that seems to hold the quiet commerce of the day in a fragile, suspended state until the heat of the afternoon burns it away.

About This Hollis Crossroads Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hollis Crossroads, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.531333, -85.652862. 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 Hollis Crossroads includes the ZIP code (36264), telephone area code (334), county seat of Cleburne County (Heflin), and school district assignment (Cleburne 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.
