How to Use This Lynn, Alabama Map

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

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.

Lynn anchors itself upon the rugged, red-clay expanse of the Alabama interior, where the land rises and falls in deliberate, terrestrial swells. It lies 21.6 miles northwest of Jasper, AL (from Jasper, AL: bearing 314°T), and is situated 17.4 miles east-northeast of Winfield. The horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of Hoggle Ridge, while the immediate geography remains defined by the rhythmic flow of Splunge Creek as it carves through the local terrain. Only a mile away, the quiet surface of Verlie Barton Lake Two reflects the shifting amber light of late afternoon, providing a stillness that contrasts with the dense, encroaching greenery of the region. Five miles to the north, the protected expanses of William B. Bankhead National Forest extend their influence, bringing a sense of ancient, undisturbed woodland to the perimeter of the landscape. The air here holds a heavy, humid weight, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp earth that lingers long after the sun dips below the uneven skyline.

Lynn operates with a quiet, industrious persistence, its history tied to the extraction of mineral wealth and the steady cultivation of the surrounding soil. The economy reflects a long tradition of labor in the woodlands and the nearby industrial corridors, where the legacy of coal and timber continues to shape the daily habits of the inhabitants. Beyond the reach of the Rocky Plains, the community maintains a character defined by its distance from the frantic pace of larger urban centers, favoring a deliberate, measured existence. Residents often look toward the broader reaches of the William B. Bankhead National Forest for recreation and a connection to the wilder aspects of the state. Life in Lynn moves according to the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the crops, maintaining a continuity that feels both grounded and permanent in the face of a changing world.

About This Lynn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lynn, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.057591, -87.548643. 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 Lynn includes the ZIP code (35575, 35565), telephone area code (205), county seat of Winston County (Double Springs), and school district assignment (Winston 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.
