Explore Hurtsboro, 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 Hurtsboro, 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 Hurtsboro.
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.

Hurtsboro emerges from the dense, red-clay terrain of Alabama as a quiet collection of structures defined by the slow, persistent wanderings of Hurtsboro Creek. It lies 25.7 miles south of Auburn, AL (from Auburn, AL: bearing 172°T), and is situated 18.7 miles east-northeast of Union Springs. The landscape here is characterized by the soft, heavy stillness of inland heat, where the air holds the scent of damp earth and the deep, resinous life of longleaf pines. To the north, the faint, hazy silhouette of Pace Hill marks the horizon, while the local geography remains intimate and grounded, punctuated only by the still, reflective surface of Beasleys Pond just a short distance away. Light at dusk here settles in thick, amber layers, casting long, mournful shadows across the fields that seem to hold the stillness of the afternoon in a permanent, golden suspension.
Hurtsboro carries the weight of a history rooted in the cycles of agriculture, where the legacy of cotton and timber built the foundations of the local economy. The rhythms of daily life are dictated by the land’s own pace, moving in quiet synchronicity with the seasons rather than the frantic demands of modern commerce. Those who wander further afield may find the expansive, protected wildness of the Wehle Nature Preserve, which offers a stark contrast to the human-scaled architecture of the main streets. Even as the decades have passed, the character of Hurtsboro remains tethered to these traditional patterns, maintaining a modest, resilient identity that exists far from the clamor of coastal life, favoring instead the steady, predictable pulse of the interior plains.

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.
