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.

About Pea Ridge, Alabama

Pea Ridge is a locality in Madison County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 841. The population density is 20.8 people per km². Pea Ridge is located at 33.1338°N, 86.9379°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 35805, 36426, 35563.

Pea Ridge defines itself through the quiet persistence of red-clay earth and the dense, shade-heavy canopy of hardwood forests that stretch toward the horizon. It lies 3.2 miles southwest of Huntsville, AL (from Huntsville, AL: bearing 220°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east of Madison. The landscape rises in modest increments toward the slopes of Weeden Mountain, while the low-lying moisture of the region collects in the shadows of Drake Cove. A mile from the center, the waters of Merrimac Branch trace a deliberate path through the undergrowth, their surface occasionally stilled by the humid, heavy air that settles over the timberland. At the Metro Kiwanis Sportsplex, the ground holds the lingering warmth of the afternoon sun, providing a flat, open space that contrasts with the tangled, root-bound terrain surrounding the outskirts of Pea Ridge.

History in Pea Ridge remains anchored to the slow, seasonal rhythms of an economy built upon the fertility of the soil and the legacy of agricultural stewardship. The proximity of Wheeler Lake provides a broad, reflective expanse that draws the eye toward the north, grounding the local character in the steady movement of inland water. Throughout the day, the pace of life maintains a measured cadence, echoing the labor of those who once worked the surrounding peach and pecan groves. Even as modern transit lines carve through the countryside, the spirit of the locale persists in the way light filters through the longleaf pines, casting elongated, shifting patterns across the roads that connect these quiet, inland reaches.

About This Pea Ridge Map Page

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.

Detailed location data for Pea Ridge includes the ZIP code (35805, 36426, 35563), telephone area code (205, 256), county seat of Madison County (Huntsville), and school district assignment (Shelby 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.
