How to Use This Panola, Alabama Map

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

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.

About Panola, Alabama

Panola is a locality in Sumter County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 71. The population density is 38.2 people per km². Panola is located at 32.9468°N, 88.2623°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 36046, 35477.

Panola exists as a quiet accumulation of red-clay earth and dense, tangled hardwoods that hold the heavy, humid air of the deep interior. It lies 44.3 miles west-southwest of Tuscaloosa, AL (from Tuscaloosa, AL: bearing 246°T), and is situated 14.1 miles south-southwest of Aliceville. The landscape here is defined by the slow, rhythmic crawl of Rogers Creek, which winds through the low-lying timberland just a mile away, feeding the moisture that keeps the undergrowth lush and thick. Even when the sky turns a bruised, thundery purple at dusk, the light remains caught in the serrated edges of the pine needles, casting long, lean shadows across the fields. Beyond the immediate canopy, the terrain stays grounded and modest, far removed from the sharp peaks of Potters Ridge, which sits as a distant, hazy suggestion on the horizon. A mile in the opposite direction, the State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a silent, unmanicured stretch of wilderness, while the quiet waters of Jim Henderson Lake offer a singular point of stillness three miles from the center of the settlement.

Panola carries the weight of a long agricultural inheritance, where the soil has been worked for generations to yield the pecans and crops that once anchored the regional economy. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the slow turn of the seasons and the enduring memory of the people who shaped its difficult, formative years. Modern industry has thinned, leaving behind a pace that values the deliberate over the hurried, and a social character built on the persistence of long-standing family ties. There is a specific, melancholy beauty in how the architecture of the past—faded wooden structures and overgrown paths—recedes into the encroaching forest, reclaiming the land for the pines and the moss. Residents move through these spaces with a recognition of what has been lost and what remains, finding a communal stability in the simple, unbroken horizon that defines the boundary of their world.
