Explore Mount Olive, 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 Mount Olive, 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 Mount Olive.
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.

Mount Olive occupies a quiet expanse of land where the red-clay earth holds the warmth of the sun long after the light begins to fail. It lies 26.3 miles east-northeast of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 62°T), and is situated 8.6 miles southeast of Bridgeport. The landscape is defined by the steady, persistent presence of the inland terrain, where the silhouette of Pudding Ridge rises five miles distant to anchor the horizon. A mile from the center, the waters of Vicie Branch trace a narrow path through the woods, while the modest, singular beauty of Little Falls offers a rhythmic sound to those who wander close enough to hear it. Three miles away, the surface of Vaught Lake remains a flat, dark mirror reflecting the longleaf pines that stand in dense, quiet groves across the surrounding territory.
Mount Olive remains a place where the economy finds its pulse in the slow, deliberate work of local industry and the quiet maintenance of the land. Four miles out, the Jackson County Waterfowl Area And Refuge serves as a sanctuary for the migratory life that moves through this inland corridor, keeping the wild presence of the region intact. To the north, the deep, shadowed depression of Newby Gulf creates a natural boundary that has shaped the movement of people and the flow of trade for generations. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, characterized by the heavy, humid air that settles over the fields and the enduring memory of a history written in the soil.

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.
