How to Use This Malcolm, Alabama Map

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

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.

Malcolm unfolds across a landscape of heavy, humid air and deep, shadowed woodlands where the longleaf pine stands sentinel over the red-clay earth. It lies 25.9 miles north of Saraland, AL (from Saraland, AL: bearing 8°T), and is situated 14.8 miles east-northeast of Citronelle.

The Little Poll Bayou carves a slow, deliberate path through the terrain, its dark waters reflecting the erratic, golden light that filters through the dense canopy of bottomland hardwoods. To the west, the gentle rise of Dove Roost Hill breaks the horizon, offering a quiet perspective over the sprawling, quiet acreage that defines the region. Those who wander three miles from the center might find themselves traversing the State-owned Submerged Lands, a preserve that keeps the wilderness intact against the creeping marks of progress. Seven miles further, the stillness of Three Rivers Lake provides a mirror for the sky, anchoring the geography in a calm, liquid permanence that persists through the changing seasons.

Malcolm maintains a pace dictated by the slow maturation of pecan orchards and the seasonal cycle of the soil, reflecting an economy long tethered to the bounty of the land. The history of the place is etched into the architecture of its older structures, where the persistent humidity has softened the sharp edges of brick and timber over generations. Life in Malcolm moves with a steady, unadorned gravity, where the memory of past struggles serves as a quiet guide for the present. The local character is defined by a deep-rooted resilience, a quality as enduring as the thick strands of Spanish moss that drape from the limbs of ancient oaks, swaying in the stillness of a Southern afternoon.

About This Malcolm Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Malcolm, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.198697, -88.001065. 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 Malcolm includes the ZIP code (36556, 36553), telephone area code (251), county seat of Washington County (Chatom), and school district assignment (Washington 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.
