How to Use This Pleasant Groves, Alabama Map

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

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 Groves occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the persistent, winding course of North Sauty Creek as it carves through the verdant landscape. It lies 11.0 miles west-northwest of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 292°T), and is situated 18.9 miles east-southeast of Moores Mill. The terrain here rises toward the rugged silhouette of Lizzard Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a jagged, gray-blue line. Only a few miles away, the depressions of McAllister Sinks create a singular, hollowed architecture in the earth, while the still, dark waters of Beasley Pond reflect the shifting moods of the sky. The atmosphere carries the heavy, humid warmth of the inland South, where the light at dusk settles over the fields like a fine, golden dust, softening the edges of the hardwoods and the dense undergrowth that thrives in the nearby James D. Martin - Skyline Wildlife Management Area.

Economic life in Pleasant Groves remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythms of the land, drawing sustenance from the deep, stubborn red clay that has supported generations of local families. The history of the place is etched into the quiet industry of the small-scale agricultural plots and the woodlots that define the regional economy, favoring a pace that resists the frantic acceleration of the modern world. Life here is measured by the seasonal turning of the crops and the migration of birds through the timber, fostering a character of independence and guarded reflection. Residents move with a deliberate grace through their days, maintaining a connection to the soil and the creek that feels as permanent as the bedrock beneath the ridge.

About This Pleasant Groves Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasant Groves, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.737619, -86.197637. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Pleasant Groves includes the ZIP code (35776), telephone area code (256), county seat of Jackson County (Scottsboro), and school district assignment (Jackson County School District).

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.
