How to Use This New Hope, Alabama Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Hope, 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 New Hope.
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.

ZIP codes: 36278, 36346, 35242.New Hope occupies a quiet expanse of the Alabama interior where the Dogwood Branch traces a modest, winding path through the red-clay soil. It lies 32.7 miles west-northwest of Jasper, AL (from Jasper, AL: bearing 289°T), and is situated 3.6 miles north of Winfield. Sunlight filters through the canopy in long, amber slats during the late afternoon, illuminating the heavy, humid air that clings to the bottomland hardwoods and longleaf pines. To the horizon, the silhouette of Bee Mountain rises as a muted gray interruption against the sky, standing ten miles distant from the low-lying fields. The landscape maintains a steady, deliberate composure, marked by the presence of State-owned Submerged Lands just three miles away, which preserve the quiet, untamed character of the local terrain.
New Hope reflects a history tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the persistent endurance of its people. The local economy relies on the rhythm of the seasons, where the harvest of peaches and pecans defines the passage of time more accurately than any clock. While County Lake rests ten miles out, providing a stillness that mirrors the temperament of the neighborhood, the life of New Hope remains centered on the small-scale commerce and community bonds formed along its rural routes. Residents move through their days with a practiced patience, acknowledging the legacy of the land that has supported generations of families who remain rooted in this singular, inland corner of the state.

About This New Hope Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Hope, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.537972, -86.412372. 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 New Hope includes the ZIP code (36278, 36346, 35242), telephone area code (205, 256), county seat of Marion County (Hamilton), and school district assignment (Madison 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.
