How to Use This Morrison Crossroads, Alabama Map

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

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.

Morrison Crossroads maintains a quiet presence upon the red-clay earth, where the horizon is defined by the slow, steady rise of the land toward the distant silhouette of Plunkett Mountain. It lies 24.0 miles southeast of Oxford, AL (from Oxford, AL: bearing 124°T), and is situated 19.8 miles north-northwest of Roanoke. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that seems to linger between the trunks of longleaf pines, while the proximity of Mud Creek, barely a mile away, offers a constant, low-frequency pulse to the rural landscape. At dusk, the light catches the iron-rich soil, turning the furrows of the fields into shades of deep, burnt copper that contrast sharply against the darkening green of the hardwoods. Beyond the immediate clearings, the terrain remains unhurried, with the State-owned Submerged Lands lying a mere two miles off, providing a quiet sanctuary of tangled undergrowth and marshy ground that feels far removed from the press of the modern world.

Morrison Crossroads has long been anchored by the rhythms of seasonal agriculture, where the legacy of peach and pecan orchards shapes the local economy and the daily labor of its inhabitants. History here is kept in the quiet maintenance of the back roads and the generational knowledge of how the land behaves during the long, sweltering summers. Travelers passing through might notice the stillness around Barton Lake six miles to the north, a place where the water mirrors the sky with a clarity that renders the surrounding woods double in depth. The character of the locale is found in this endurance, a steady adherence to a way of life that values the cycle of the harvest and the slow passage of time over the rapid shifts of industry. It is a place where the weight of memory resides in the soil itself, holding the quiet stories of those who have worked these fields for decades.

About This Morrison Crossroads Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Morrison Crossroads, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.4198, -85.4903. 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 Morrison Crossroads includes the ZIP code (36280), telephone area code (334), county seat of Randolph County (Wedowee), and school district assignment (Randolph 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.
