How to Use This Kinston, Alabama Map

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

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.

Kinston emerges from the flat, pine-shadowed plains of southern Alabama as a quiet collection of dwellings and commerce held together by the slow, humid pulse of the inland woods. It lies 19.9 miles west-southwest of Enterprise, AL (from Enterprise, AL: bearing 250°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southeast of Opp. The landscape is defined by the persistent presence of the longleaf pine, where the earth gives way to iron-rich soil that clings to the tires of passing trucks. Only a mile away, the dark, slow-moving waters of Flat Creek trace a path through the undergrowth, providing a cool, shaded reprieve from the heat that gathers in the open fields. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the terrain lifts toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Buffalo Hill, while the dense, protected reaches of Geneva State Forest dominate the horizon, offering a vast, silent expanse of timber and scrub.

Kinston maintains a rhythm dictated by the agricultural cycles of the region, where the labor of the soil remains a primary anchor for the local economy. The proximity of Geneva State Forest, just two miles away, underscores a longstanding relationship between the inhabitants and the managed wild, an influence that permeates the quietude of the daily routine. Memories of the past cling to the architecture of the older structures, where the light at dusk catches the grain of weathered wood and the dust of the back roads settles into a fine, warm haze. Life here is not measured by the rush of progress, but by the steady, enduring persistence of the land itself, a quality that remains as evident as the stillness of the afternoon air.

About This Kinston Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kinston, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.216004, -86.171058. 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 Kinston includes the ZIP code (36453, 36467), telephone area code (251), county seat of Coffee County (Elba), and school district assignment (Coffee 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.
