How to Use This Midway, Alabama Map

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

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.

Midway occupies a quiet expanse of Alabama where the horizon is defined by the steady, unyielding presence of red-clay earth and dense corridors of longleaf pine. It lies 6.3 miles southeast of Alexander City, AL (from Alexander City, AL: bearing 129°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west-northwest of Dadeville. The landscape bears the marks of a slow, deliberate erosion, with the drainage of Gin House Branch carving subtle indentations into the soil barely a mile from the center of the settlement. To the west, the distant outline of Hillabee Ridge provides a faint, serrated edge against the sky, while the proximity of Martin Lake introduces a stillness to the air, drawing moisture that clings to the hardwoods during the humid afternoons. Shadows stretch long and thin across the fields as the sun dips, casting a copper glow over the pines that makes the transition into dusk feel heavy and profound.

Midway maintains a character forged by the agrarian cycles of the region, where the economy has historically drawn its strength from the cycles of timber and the cultivation of the land. Economic life here remains tied to the quiet productivity of the soil, with the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands acting as a guardian of the natural environment, preserving the integrity of the local watershed. The legacy of the area is not merely in the structures that remain, but in the enduring memory of those who worked these fields, their lives woven into the daily movement of the community. Life in Midway moves with the deliberate pace of a season, where the primary concerns are the health of the timber, the quality of the harvest, and the quiet preservation of a way of life that values the stillness of the woods over the clamor of the modern world.

About This Midway Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midway, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.076373, -85.524417. 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 Midway includes the ZIP code (36861, 36042, 36728), telephone area code (334, 251), county seat of Tallapoosa County (Dadeville), and school district assignment (Bullock 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.
