How to Use This Pleasant Grove, Alabama Map

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

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 Pleasant Grove, Alabama

Pleasant Grove is a locality in Jackson County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of approximately 9,544. The population density is 375.1 people per km². Pleasant Grove is located at 33.4940°N, 86.9781°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Pleasant Grove is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 35160, 35653, 35579.

Pleasant Grove reveals itself through the steady, rhythmic passage of Crow Creek, which carves a path through the red-clay earth less than a mile from the center of the locality. It lies 19.8 miles north-northeast of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 19°T), and is situated 19.9 miles south-southeast of Winchester. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the longleaf pines and hardwood thickets, while the distant, jagged silhouette of Cedar Ridge defines the horizon line. To the north, the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Bennett Cove, offering a sheltered sanctuary just a mile away from the primary residential corridors. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy in shifting patterns of bronze and amber, illuminating the damp soil and the deep, iron-rich hues that characterize the local geography.

Pleasant Grove maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate transition from its early agricultural roots to a modern residential identity, far removed from the influence of any coastline. Residents frequently seek the quietude of the James D. Martin - Skyline Wildlife Management Area, a sprawling expanse of protected land that serves as a vital anchor for local recreation and ecological preservation. While the economy has evolved beyond the original clearing of the timberlands, the pace of life retains a measured quality, governed by the seasonal cycles of the inland forest and the gentle, persistent movement of nearby waterways. On quieter afternoons, the light catches the surface of the landscape, reminding observers that the true spirit of Pleasant Grove resides in the enduring, unadorned connection between the people and the red-earthed hills they inhabit.

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.
