How to Use This Peterman, Alabama Map

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

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 Peterman, Alabama

Peterman is a locality in Houston County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 87. The population density is 79.4 people per km². Peterman is located at 31.5837°N, 87.2630°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 36305, 36471.

Peterman occupies a quiet expanse of red-clay earth where the land shifts slowly between dense thickets of longleaf pine and the open, sun-baked geometry of agricultural fields. It lies 5.5 miles west-southwest of Dothan, AL (from Dothan, AL: bearing 253°T), and is situated 2.5 miles north-northwest of Taylor. Pinhook Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the landscape, its waters often stained dark with the minerals of the region as it slips past low-lying bottomland hardwoods. The air here holds a consistent, heavy warmth that seems to settle into the soil, particularly as the light softens in the late afternoon, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the fallow ground. Only a mile away, the quiet boundaries of Dothan Trail Park offer a reprieve of managed greenery, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Balcom Hill marks the horizon sixteen miles to the north.

Peterman sustains itself through the steady, quiet labor of the land, defined by the seasonal cycles of timber and the cultivation of pecans that have shaped the local economy for generations. The history of the area is written in the depth of the red clay and the enduring patterns of rural life, where the pace is dictated more by the ripening of a crop or the rising of a creek than by the urgency of the outside world. Residents move with a practiced familiarity, acknowledging a shared heritage that remains tethered to the slow growth of the forest and the persistent, unhurried rhythm of the fields. Even the stillness at Open Pond, fourteen miles distant, reflects the same patient character found in the center of Peterman, where the quietude of the southern interior remains the primary measure of the day.
