Explore Jasper, 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 Jasper, 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 Jasper.
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.

Jasper emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet testament to the resilience of the inland landscape. It lies 29.2 miles west-northwest of Gardendale, AL (from Gardendale, AL: bearing 294°T), and is situated 12.9 miles west-northwest of Dora.
Town Creek carves a path through the terrain, its waters moving with a steady, deliberate purpose past the local dwellings. A.P. Howell Park offers a green sanctuary where the humid air lingers under the canopy of hardwoods, providing a space for the light to filter down in long, golden shafts during the late afternoon. To the west, the quiet depths of Dark Hollow create a natural basin that catches the evening shadows, while the gentle slopes of Big Ridge remain a constant, brooding presence on the horizon. Only three miles away, the surface of Walker County Lake reflects the shifting sky, its stillness offering a stark contrast to the persistent motion of the creek. Jasper holds these features in a delicate balance, where the humidity of the air thickens the scent of pine and damp soil as dusk settles over the land.
Jasper grew from the industrial labor of the earth, its foundations built upon the extraction of coal and the steady rhythm of rail transport. The local economy has long been tethered to these subterranean riches, shifting over the decades from heavy mining to a more diversified landscape of manufacturing and regional commerce. Men once labored in the darkness of the shafts, their efforts defining the economic lifeblood of the region and shaping the sturdy character of the residents. Today, the hum of industry persists in the warehouses and businesses that line the routes through the area, maintaining a steady pace of productivity. This history of work remains etched in the quiet determination of the people who continue to navigate the complexities of a changing modern marketplace.
The cultural spirit of Jasper is found in the slow, deliberate pace of its daily life, where neighborly recognition remains a fundamental social currency. The community gathers periodically for local events that celebrate its unique identity, grounding the residents in a shared sense of place and heritage. Notable landmarks, including the historic courthouse, serve as focal points for the civic narrative, anchoring the downtown district with a sense of permanence and architectural gravity. Among those who have emerged from this soil, the acclaimed actor George Lindsey stands out as a genuine figure who carried the influence of his upbringing into the wider world of television. Jasper maintains a character defined by this blend of local tradition and the quiet, steady progression of time through the seasons.

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.
