Explore Nanafalia, 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 Nanafalia, 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 Nanafalia.
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.

Nanafalia emerges from the dense, humid embrace of Alabama’s interior where the dark, silty waters of Sweetwater Creek carve a slow path through the thickets of bottomland hardwood. It lies 60.0 miles west-southwest of Selma, AL (from Selma, AL: bearing 250°T), and is situated 11.7 miles southeast of Indian Springs. Beyond the creek, the earth gives way to the deep, iron-rich red clay that colors the back roads and clings to the low ridges characterizing this inland expanse. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of Horne Ridge anchors the horizon, standing as a silent sentinel over the quiet woodlands. When the light of late afternoon strikes the pine needles, the landscape adopts a copper glow, casting long, still shadows that seem to suspend the very air in a heavy, golden amber. Three miles removed, the expanse of Coffeeville Lake exerts a cooling influence on the climate, tempering the heat that otherwise settles thick upon the fields and forests of Nanafalia.
Economy in Nanafalia remains rooted in the slow, persistent rhythms of the land, defined by the timber cycles and the long-held traditions of agriculture that have shaped the local character for generations. Men and women here move with a deliberate pace, mindful of the seasons and the demands of the soil, while the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands provide a protected buffer of wild, verdant terrain that preserves the character of the region. The history of the area is written in the quiet endurance of its people, who navigate the complexities of their heritage with a stoic, unassuming grace. Life here does not clamor for attention; instead, it reveals itself in the subtle shifts of the woodland canopy and the steady, unpretentious labor of those who call these red-clay hills home.

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.
