Explore Moulton, Alabama, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moulton, 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 Moulton.
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.

Moulton unfolds across a landscape defined by the steady, persistent passage of Crow Branch, which carves its way through the earth just a short distance from the center. It lies 19.6 miles west-southwest of Decatur, AL (from Decatur, AL: bearing 244°T), and is situated 14.5 miles southwest of Trinity. Beyond the immediate banks of this waterway, the land transitions into the expansive, fertile stretch of the Moulton Valley, where the soil holds a deep, rusted hue that speaks to the ancient mineral weight of the region. To the south, the horizon is anchored by the rugged, darkened silhouette of Chestnut Ridge, a persistent sentinel against the sky. On quieter afternoons, the light catches the surface of Irving Pond, casting long, fractured shadows across the fields that extend toward the distant, dense greenery of the William B. Bankhead National Forest.
Moulton carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of the soil, where the local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the industrious output of its inhabitants. At the core of the daily routine, the Alexander Mini-Park provides a modest, essential space for the community to pause amidst the hum of regional commerce. The legacy of the area is etched into the very character of the streets, reflecting a history of endurance and a persistent, slow-moving development that favors tradition over haste. Here, the air often holds a thick, humid weight, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth, grounding every resident in a landscape that demands both respect and a steady, deliberate pace of life.

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.
