How to Use This New Site, Alabama Map

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

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.

New Site emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet arrangement of pine-shadowed roads and open fields, defined by the slow, humid pulse of the Alabama interior. It lies 12.3 miles east-northeast of Alexander City, AL (from Alexander City, AL: bearing 58°T), and is situated 14.3 miles north of Dadeville. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, filtering through the longleaf pines to press against the quiet, iron-rich soil that colors the landscape in deep ochre and rust. A mile to the west, the dark, slow-moving waters of Timbergut Creek trace the low ground, while the terrain rises toward the modest, rounded prominence of Hog Mountain five miles away. The air carries the weight of the inland summer, thick with the scent of pine needles and damp earth, grounding the horizon in a stillness that persists long after the afternoon heat has dissipated.

History in New Site is written in the persistence of small-scale agriculture and the deliberate pace of its residents, who have long looked toward the nearby acreage of State-owned Submerged Lands for a connection to the wilder, wooded character of the region. Five miles distant, the expansive reach of Martin Lake serves as a quiet anchor for the local consciousness, providing a reservoir of stillness that balances the industrious, agrarian rhythms of the surrounding fields. The economy remains tethered to the land and the modest commerce of a rural crossroads, where the cycles of growth and harvest govern the passage of time. Life here moves with a steady, unforced cadence, shaped by the legacy of the soil and the quiet endurance of a landscape that asks for little and offers a profound, solitary peace to those who dwell within its borders.

About This New Site Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Site, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.026041, -85.784536. 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 Site includes the ZIP code (36256), telephone area code (334), county seat of Tallapoosa County (Dadeville), and school district assignment (Tallapoosa 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.
