Explore Pickensville, 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 Pickensville, 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 Pickensville.
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.

Pickensville occupies a quiet expanse of Alabama where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of longleaf pine and the damp, dark earth of the bottomlands. It lies 39.8 miles west of Northport, AL (from Northport, AL: bearing 270°T), and is situated 9.5 miles northwest of Aliceville. The landscape unfolds in a series of subtle elevations that reach toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Walnut Hills on the horizon, while the ground itself is marked by the iron-rich character of red-clay back roads. Aliceville Lake stretches out as a vast, reflective presence at the edge of the properties, providing a stillness that defines the local atmosphere as much as the thick, tangled greenery of the woods. Just a mile away, the Tombigbee River carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its dark water moving with a heavy, ancient weight that dictates the pace of the surrounding terrain.
Pickensville bears the marks of a long, complex chronology, its roots anchored in the labor and endurance of those who first cleared the hardwood forests for settlement. The economy remains tethered to the land, drawing sustenance from the cycles of agriculture and the timber industry that have sustained families for generations. Public access to the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands offers a glimpse into the raw, unmanicured beauty of the region, where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered copper. Life in Pickensville follows the steady, predictable rhythm of the seasons, where the memory of civil-rights struggles and the quiet work of daily survival exist side by side under a wide, unhurried sky.

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.
