Explore Riverview, 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 Riverview, 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 Riverview.
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.

Riverview occupies a low-lying stretch of Alabama where the Black Warrior River carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape. It lies 2.5 miles east-northeast of Tuscaloosa, AL (from Tuscaloosa, AL: bearing 74°T), and is situated 2.9 miles east-southeast of Northport. The earth here is defined by the deep, iron-rich red clay of Pine Flat, which abuts the riverbank and supports a dense canopy of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood. To the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Pleasant Ridge rises against the horizon, providing a constant, silent anchor to the view. William Bacon Oliver Lake stretches out as a wide, placid expanse of water, its surface often catching the heavy, humid light of late afternoon in a way that turns the sky a bruised, metallic purple. Near the water’s edge, the State-owned Submerged Lands provide a quiet sanctuary for local flora, where the air feels heavy with the scent of pine needles and damp, cooling earth.
Riverview emerged from the rhythms of an economy long tethered to the movement of goods and timber along the water, a heritage that lingers in the weathered wooden structures near the riverbank. While the pace of life has shifted away from the heavy industry of previous decades, the legacy of those laborers remains etched into the local character, manifesting in a quiet, watchful pride. The people of Riverview maintain a steady, unadorned existence, moving through their days with an awareness of the seasonal shifts that dictate the growth of nearby orchards and the slow, rising levels of the river. It is a place where history is not displayed in glass cases but felt in the humidity that clings to the skin and the way the light filters through the moss-draped branches, illuminating a landscape that demands patient observation.

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.
