Explore Oak Grove, 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 Oak Grove, 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 Oak Grove.
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.

Oak Grove anchors itself firmly within a landscape defined by the heavy, humid stillness of the interior, where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of Peanut Ridge. It lies 16.2 miles east-northeast of Russellville, AL (from Russellville, AL: bearing 78°T), and is situated 17.8 miles southeast of Muscle Shoals. The earth here is composed of stubborn red clay that clings to the tires of passing trucks, a terrain that yields to the quiet depression of Shaver Hollow and the steady, narrow currents of Masterson Creek. Sunlight filters through the canopy with a thick, golden weight, illuminating the dense thickets of longleaf pine that define the local topography. Four miles away, the ecosystem finds a protected sanctuary in Prairie Grove Glades, where the flora shifts in response to the limestone-rich soil, and further still, the sudden, sharp descent of The Fall Off provides a rare verticality to the otherwise level expanse. Moisture gathers in the low-lying basins near Pooles Pond, where the air hangs heavy and expectant, cooling only when the sun slips behind the pine line to leave the fields in a bruised, violet twilight.
Oak Grove carries the weight of a history rooted in the slow, deliberate cultivation of the land, serving as a quiet center for those who work the cycles of the peach and pecan harvests. The local economy remains tethered to these traditional rhythms, prioritizing the labor of the soil and the maintenance of the back roads that connect dispersed homesteads. Residents move with a measured pace that seems to honor the long-standing memory of the region, where the struggle for civil rights has left a profound, unspoken influence on the character of the people. Life in Oak Grove persists without the intrusion of external velocity, focused instead on the seasonal demands of the orchards and the preservation of a quiet, agrarian dignity. Neighbors recognize each other by the familiar rattle of engines on gravel, sustaining a social fabric that relies on the endurance of long-established family lines and the simple, persistent beauty of a life lived in harmony with the inland heat.

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.
