How to Use This Pea Ridge, Alabama Map

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

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.

Pea Ridge emerges from the red-clay earth as a collection of quiet clearings and dense, timbered stands where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of pine. It lies 9.0 miles southwest of Alabaster, AL (from Alabaster, AL: bearing 226°T), and is situated 5.2 miles northwest of Montevallo. A traveler passing through finds the landscape defined by the subtle rise of the terrain, which climbs toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Potato Hill on the horizon. The moisture of the region gathers in the low-lying reaches of Opossum Valley, five miles to the west, while the local topography is shaped by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Jesse Creek. At the center of this landscape, Pea Ridge Community Park provides a green anchor for the residents, offering a space where the afternoon light filters through the canopy in long, amber slats that illuminate the forest floor.

Pea Ridge maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate pace of agricultural cycles and the enduring legacy of the regional timber industry. While the economy remains grounded in the quiet productivity of the land, the area keeps its connection to the wider world through the winding back roads that link it to the nearby stillness of Williams Lake. Life in Pea Ridge moves with an awareness of the seasons, marked by the changing color of the hardwoods and the shifting heat that dictates the rhythm of the day. There is a particular weight to the history here, felt in the way the local pathways have been worn deep into the soil over generations of quiet, steady labor.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pea Ridge, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.133805, -86.937949. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
