How to Use This McIntosh, Alabama Map

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

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.

McIntosh emerges from the dense, humid embrace of longleaf pine forests and bottomland hardwoods where the air holds a heavy, persistent warmth. It lies 30.9 miles north of Saraland, AL (from Saraland, AL: bearing 4°T), and is situated 18.6 miles south-southwest of Jackson. Birch Branch carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, its waters moving with a quiet gravity that marks the rhythm of the surrounding woodland. Three miles to the east, the terrain rises toward the modest elevation of Blocker Hill, providing a subtle break in the flat, red-clay horizon. To the south, the protected expanse of State-owned Submerged Lands offers a sanctuary for local flora, shielding a wilder, untamed side of the landscape from the reach of modern development. The light here often settles in thick, golden layers during the late afternoon, catching the Spanish moss as it drifts from the branches like frayed lace.

McIntosh maintains an economy deeply rooted in the land, where the steady industry of chemical manufacturing stands as a primary pillar of regional life. The history of the area is etched into the very soil, reflecting a complex narrative of civil rights memory and the enduring traditions of the Alabama interior. Residents of McIntosh often find their daily routines punctuated by the presence of Three Rivers Lake, a nearby feature that serves as a quiet focal point for those seeking respite from the demands of work. Life moves with a deliberate, measured pace, defined less by the frantic tick of a clock and more by the seasonal cycles of the pecan harvest and the slow growth of the timber stands. This is a place where the legacy of the past remains visible in the architecture of the streets and the collective consciousness of the people who call it home.

About This McIntosh Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McIntosh, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.266282, -88.03139. 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 McIntosh includes the ZIP code (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.
