Explore Pleasant Grove, 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 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.

Pleasant Grove anchors itself firmly upon the red-clay earth, where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the dense thickets of hardwoods. It lies 6.5 miles north-northwest of Talladega, AL (from Talladega, AL: bearing 337°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east-southeast of Pell City. Clear Creek carves a quiet, persistent path just one mile from the residential blocks, its waters feeding the moisture that keeps the undergrowth lush even when the summer heat turns the fields brittle. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Norman Mountain defines the horizon, a constant reminder of the geological weight that holds this land in place. Two miles away, the expansive surface of Logan Martin Lake reflects the heavy, humid sky, while nearby tracts of State-owned Submerged Lands provide a sanctuary for the quiet, creeping life that persists in the damp shade.
Pleasant Grove carries the quiet dignity of a place built by hands that understood the stubborn temper of the soil. While the local economy has shifted away from the agrarian rhythms of earlier generations, the memory of those labor-intensive days remains etched in the stoic architecture and the deliberate, unhurried pace of the streets. The proximity to the sprawling expanse of the Talladega National Forest serves as a reminder of the vast, untamed timberland that once dictated the lives of the early settlers. Even as life modernizes, there is a lingering reverence for the solitude found in the deeper woods and the cooling shade of the hollows, such as the quiet reaches of Rocky Hollow, which remain largely untouched by the hum of the passing highway.

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.
