Explore Hollywood, 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 Hollywood, 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 Hollywood.
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.

Hollywood holds the quiet gravity of a place where the earth tilts toward the water, marked by the persistent, slow carving of Mill Hollow. It lies 5.0 miles northeast of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 44°T), and is situated 17.4 miles north-northwest of Rainsville. Beyond the immediate basin, the land rises into the rugged, shadowed silhouettes of Backbone Ridge, which stands as a silent sentinel over the local topography. The air here carries a heavy, sweet humidity that clings to the longleaf pines, and when the light fails at dusk, the atmosphere thickens with the scent of damp soil and ancient stone. Nearby, the waters of Dry Creek trace a winding, narrow path through the undergrowth, eventually finding rest within the expansive, glassy surface of Guntersville Lake, a mile away from the center of the terrain.
Hollywood emerged from the intersection of rail and soil, growing into a rhythm defined by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding agricultural expanse. The economy remains tethered to the land and the quiet industry of those who work it, maintaining a pace that favors the deliberate over the frantic. Beyond the immediate reach of the township, the State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a portion of the wild, untouched character that once defined the entire valley. Life here moves with a steady, unadorned grace, where the memory of earlier generations lingers in the red-clay dust of the back roads and the stillness of the afternoon. It is a place where the vast, inland geography dictates the scale of human ambition, keeping everything grounded in the reality of the season and the soil.

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.
