Explore Rockville, 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 Rockville, 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 Rockville.
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.

Rockville commands a quiet stretch of Alabama earth where the dark, winding path of Sand Hill Creek carves a persistent line through the dense canopy of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood. It lies 43.6 miles north-northeast of Saraland, AL (from Saraland, AL: bearing 18°T), and is situated 6.9 miles south-southeast of Jackson. This landscape is defined by the soft elevation of Roundtop Hill, which rises in the distance to break the horizon, while the humid air hangs heavy and thick, smelling of damp soil and ancient growth. Only a mile away, the quiet boundaries of the Fred T. Stimpson Community Hunting Area offer a sanctuary of tangled brush and shaded thickets, providing a stillness that defines the perimeter of the settlement. When the light fades at dusk, the atmosphere takes on a bruised, violet hue, casting long shadows across the red-clay back roads that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has retreated behind the trees.
Rockville grew from the steady, rhythmic labor of those who worked the soil, drawing sustenance from the timber and the fertile pockets of earth that have long supported the regional economy. The memory of the past remains present in the architecture of the older buildings, where the wood has weathered to a silver gray under the persistent weight of the humid climate. Life moves with a measured pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger centers, centered instead around the seasonal turning of the woods and the quiet industry of the local harvest. Eight miles to the west, the waters of Flag Lake reflect the sky with a mirror-like clarity, serving as a silent witness to the generations that have navigated these inland tracts. In the quiet intersections of the day, Rockville reveals itself not through grand gestures, but through the enduring patience of its inhabitants and the subtle, persistent beauty of the pines swaying in the wind.

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.
