How to Use This Reeltown, Alabama Map

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

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 Reeltown, Alabama

Reeltown is a locality in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 794. The population density is 40.6 people per km². Reeltown is located at 32.5742°N, 85.8196°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 36078.

Reeltown sits upon the red-clay shoulders of the Alabama piedmont, where the land breaks into steady, quiet rises and falls beneath a heavy sky. It lies 18.9 miles west of Auburn, AL (from Auburn, AL: bearing 269°T), and is situated 6.9 miles northeast of Tallassee. Coon Creek carves a narrow, persistent path through the earth here, its waters moving with a deliberate clarity that reflects the tangled green of the hardwood canopy above. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of Heck Ridge anchors the horizon, standing as a silent sentinel against the humid air that hangs over the fields. To the west, the landscape deepens into the shadows of the Tuskegee National Forest, while the nearby Coon Creek Nature Preserve offers a quiet sanctuary for the native flora that clings to the damp, mineral-rich soil. Light at dusk here possesses a particular amber weight, catching the dust of back roads and turning the longleaf pines into silhouettes of charcoal and gold.

Reeltown defines itself by the rhythm of the seasons and the enduring labor of those who cultivate the surrounding peach and pecan orchards. The economy remains tethered to this soil, a heritage that links the present generation to the deep, shifting history of the Tuckabatchie Bottoms, which lie ten miles away as a testament to the region’s ancient agricultural roots. Life unfolds with a measured pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs, yet always aware of the influence of the nearby Notasulga City Lake that draws the gaze toward the stillness of the water. The spirit of Reeltown resides in these modest, functional spaces—the local schools, the crossroads, and the quiet porches where the evening breeze brings a cooling relief. It is a place where the work of the day is measured in the growth of the crop and the slow, reliable turning of the sun across the fields.

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.
