How to Use This Myrtlewood, Alabama Map

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

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.

Myrtlewood occupies a quiet intersection of red-clay earth and dense timber, where the humid air thickens under the weight of longleaf pines and towering bottomland hardwoods. It lies 55.3 miles west of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 259°T), and is situated 8.8 miles east of Indian Springs. The landscape here is defined by a slow, deliberate terrain, shifting from flat, fertile soil to the subtle slopes that eventually rise toward the distant silhouettes of Beach Ridge. Only a mile to the west, the flow of Lost Creek cuts through the woodland, its dark, quiet waters carving a path that feeds the moisture into the surrounding pines. Two miles away, the expanse of Coffeeville Lake offers a still, reflective surface that mirrors the shifting violet light of late afternoon, providing a sense of permanence to the horizon.

Myrtlewood carries the quiet gravity of a place where the economy has long been tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the harvest of the surrounding forest. The fields that surround the settlement have seen generations of labor, maintaining a character shaped by the steady, unpretentious work of those who know the temperament of the local clay. Beyond the immediate reach of the dwellings, the managed reaches of the State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a portion of the wilder, tangled beauty that defines this part of the interior. Life in Myrtlewood moves with the sun, marked by the scent of damp earth and the cooling shadows that lengthen across the back roads as the day fades into a deep, resonant twilight.

About This Myrtlewood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Myrtlewood, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.250421, -87.949737. 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 Myrtlewood includes the ZIP code (36763), telephone area code (334), county seat of Marengo County (Linden), and school district assignment (Linden City 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.
