Explore Our Town, 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 Our Town, 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 Our Town.
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.

Our Town emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet testament to the enduring character of the Alabama landscape, where the humid air hangs heavy and sweet over the longleaf pines. It lies 8.0 miles south of Alexander City, AL (from Alexander City, AL: bearing 183°T), and is situated 11.5 miles west of Dadeville. The horizon is defined by the subtle, hazy silhouettes of the Weogufka Mountains, which provide a distant, ancient boundary to the west. Closer at hand, the terrain shifts through dense hardwood forests and small, sun-drenched clearings that catch the golden, thick light of late afternoon. Just a mile away, the expansive, still surface of Martin Lake holds the sky in its reflection, while the nearby reach of Wind Creek State Park offers a sanctuary of shaded trails and tangled thickets.
Economic life in Our Town remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the land, drawing sustenance from the surrounding forests and the fertile soil that once anchored the regional agricultural tradition. The memory of the past lingers in the quietude of the back roads, where the legacy of the land’s original stewards and the subsequent generations of farmers remains etched into the very soil. Farther out, the waters of Oakachoy Creek carve a path through the woods, serving as a silent witness to the passing seasons and the steady, unpretentious industry of the people. Life here moves with a gravity that honors the persistence of the old ways, allowing the residents of Our Town to find a profound, grounded comfort in the simple cycles of growth and harvest.

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.
