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 emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet settlement defined by the persistent, winding path of Dry Branch. It lies 11.7 miles west-northwest of Athens, AL (from Athens, AL: bearing 293°T), and is situated 18.3 miles southwest of Giles. Beyond the town’s immediate borders, the land lifts toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Gray Ridge, while the moisture-heavy air clings to the longleaf pines and hardwood thickets that define the local canopy. Two miles away, the quiet expanse of Wheeler Reservoir offers a vast, reflective stillness, contrasting with the nearby, sheltered quietude of Stinnett Hollow. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, syrupy quality, turning the dust kicked up from rural roads into a fleeting, golden gauze that settles over the low-slung landscape.

History in Pleasant Grove remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of those who first cleared these inland woods, carving a livelihood from the stubborn, mineral-rich soil. While the regional economy has shifted from the agrarian patterns of the past, the town retains a steady, deliberate pace that favors the deliberate work of the day over the frantic urgency of larger centers. Residents often find their way toward the State-owned Submerged Lands, a protected space that preserves the wilder, untamed character of the local terrain. Even as modern life moves forward, the presence of Pleasant Grove feels tethered to these fundamental elements—the rhythm of the seasons, the slow drainage of the creek beds, and the deep, silent permanence of the hills.

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.
