How to Use This Rutledge, Alabama Map

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

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.

Rutledge emerges from the expanse of the Alabama interior as a quiet intersection of red-clay veins and longleaf pine stands, where the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers against the horizon. It lies 20.7 miles west-southwest of Troy, AL (from Troy, AL: bearing 255°T), and is situated 2.9 miles west-northwest of Luverne. The landscape surrounding Rutledge is defined by the modest, insistent flow of Sikes Mill Creek, which carves a path through the quiet woodland just a mile from the center. To the west, the gentle rise of Panther Hill breaks the skyline, while the stillness of Halls Pond rests six miles away, reflecting the shifting clouds in its dark, undisturbed surface. The air here holds a permanent, humid weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine needles that lingers long after the sun has retreated behind the tree line.

Rutledge maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored in the traditions of a landscape shaped by timber and small-scale agriculture. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, echoing a history built upon the labor of the soil and the quiet endurance of its inhabitants. Residents often look toward the Crenshaw County Public Fishing Lake for recreation, a space that serves as a communal point of gravity six miles out, offering a reprieve from the daily tasks of maintenance and work. The character of Rutledge is not found in grand monuments, but in the way the morning mist clings to the fields and the persistent, unadorned resilience of a place that prefers the company of its own shadows to the noise of the outside world.

About This Rutledge Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rutledge, Alabama. Coordinates: 31.724072, -86.302008. 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 Rutledge includes the ZIP code (36049, 36071), telephone area code (334, 251), county seat of Crenshaw County (Luverne), and school district assignment (Crenshaw 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.
