How to Use This Linden, Alabama Map

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

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.

Linden occupies a quiet expanse of the Alabama Black Belt, where the earth turns to a stubborn, dark clay that holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has retreated. It lies 45.9 miles west of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 261°T), and is situated 14.8 miles south of Demopolis. The horizon remains largely flat and unassuming, though the distant silhouette of Beach Ridge haunts the western sky like a low, charcoal smudge. Water defines the immediate edges of the landscape, with the dark, slow-moving passage of Sycamore Creek slicing through the woods nearby, and the still, reflective surface of Paul S Owensby Lake Number Two offering a mirror to the dense canopy of hardwoods. The air here is heavy and thick with the scent of damp soil and pine needles, pressing down on the fields with a weight that seems to slow the very movement of the light as it turns a bruised, honeyed gold toward evening.

Linden maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects its long-standing connection to the timber and agricultural industries, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the flow of commerce and conversation. The area serves as a quiet witness to a complex past, marked by the resilience of those who have worked this soil for generations and the silent, enduring presence of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the trails of Chickasaw State Park provide a sanctuary of loblolly and oak, preserving a fragment of the wilder, ancient character of the interior. Life in Linden persists in the careful maintenance of front porches and the steady hum of local enterprise, grounded by a stoic pragmatism that favors the tangible work of the hands over the fleeting distractions of the wider world.

About This Linden Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Linden, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.306253, -87.798066. 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 Linden includes the ZIP code (36748), telephone area code (334), county seat of Marengo County (Linden), and school district assignment (Linden City 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.
