How to Use This Movico, Alabama Map

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

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.

About Movico, Alabama

Movico is a locality in Mobile County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 291. The population density is 143.5 people per km². Movico is located at 31.0646°N, 88.0256°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 36560.

Movico occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the heavy, humid stillness that settles over the red-clay earth. It lies 17.1 miles north of Saraland, AL (from Saraland, AL: bearing 9°T), and is situated 19.5 miles northwest of Bay Minette. Cedar Creek meanders just a mile from the center, its shaded banks providing a cool reprieve where the longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood cast deep, jagged shadows across the undergrowth. To the north, the silhouette of Big Rock rises five miles distant, a steady, unmoving sentinel against a sky that often turns the color of bruised plums before a summer storm. The air here carries the weight of the interior, far removed from the coast, lingering instead over the State-owned Submerged Lands where the silence is broken only by the sudden, sharp movement of wildlife in the thicket.

Movico grew from the pulse of a landscape shaped by agriculture, where the legacy of pecan orchards and the rhythms of a rural economy have long dictated the pace of the day. Life in Movico feels tethered to the slow turn of the seasons, a place where the memory of those who worked this soil remains etched into the quiet intersections and the weathered porches of the older homes. While Little Lake lies six miles away as a destination for those seeking the stillness of open water, the true character of the place is found in the modest commerce and the steady, persistent labor of its people. It is a locality that demands a certain patience, rewarding the observer with the sight of golden light catching the dust on a back road or the subtle, enduring resilience of a community that has quietly persisted through the decades.

About This Movico Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Movico, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.064623, -88.025555. 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 Movico includes the ZIP code (36560), telephone area code (251), county seat of Mobile County (Mobile), and school district assignment (Mobile 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.
