Explore Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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 Lexington.
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.

Lexington emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of fields and woodlands where the passage of time feels measured by the slow, seasonal growth of timber and crop. It lies 20.9 miles northeast of Florence, AL (from Florence, AL: bearing 56°T), and is situated 19.0 miles south of Lawrenceburg. Mill Creek serves as the pulse of this landscape, carving a persistent path through the terrain as it winds toward the broader waters of Wheeler Lake just a short distance away. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, casting long shadows across the uneven ground that descends into the shaded depths of Sawmill Hollow. To the north, the distant rise of Minor Hill marks the horizon, a silent sentinel over the expansive, inland plains that define the character of the region.
Lexington retains a persistent connection to the agrarian rhythms that first took root in this northern corner of the state, maintaining an economy deeply tethered to the productivity of the soil. While the encroaching modern world hums in the distance, the daily life of Lexington remains defined by local industry and the stewardship of the surrounding acreage. The proximity to the Blowing Springs Cave Tract offers a rare glimpse into the subterranean geology that anchors the local topography, a reminder of the ancient forces beneath the surface. Residents move through their days with a steady, deliberate focus, honoring a heritage of independence that persists long after the initial settlement of these rolling uplands.

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.
