Explore Red Level, 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 Red Level, 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 Red Level.
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.

Red Level anchors itself upon the iron-rich soil of the Alabama interior, where the horizon stretches across a landscape of pine-dappled ridges and deep-set hardwood thickets. It lies 12.5 miles southwest of Pike Road, AL (from Pike Road, AL: bearing 214°T), and is situated 16.7 miles south-southeast of Montgomery. The air here holds a heavy, persistent warmth that thickens as the sun dips behind the distant, hazy silhouette of Mount Carmel, casting a bruised violet light over the fields. Two miles to the east, the quiet waters of Waller Creek trace a serpentine path through the lowlands, serving as a slow-moving artery for the surrounding timberland. Seven miles further, the still surface of Sellers Lake reflects the heavy, humid sky, providing a rare stillness in a country defined by the steady, vertical reach of longleaf pines.
Red Level retains the quiet temperament of a place where the economy has long been tethered to the rhythmic cycles of agriculture and the extraction of timber. The local character is forged by the legacy of small-scale farming and the steady labor required to maintain the red-clay back roads that spiderweb through the rural expanse. While the pace of daily life remains measured, the influence of the past lingers in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried interactions of those who call these woodlands home. Residents occasionally find respite at Virginia Estates Park, twelve miles away, where the preservation of the natural landscape offers a reprieve from the demands of work and the deep, persistent silence of the inland plains.

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.
