Explore Slocomb, 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 Slocomb, 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 Slocomb.
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.

Slocomb occupies a quiet expanse of fertile earth where the low-hanging sun catches the deep, rusted iron of the soil after a summer rain. It lies 14.4 miles west-southwest of Dothan, AL (from Dothan, AL: bearing 237°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-southwest of Taylor. Hatband Creek winds its way through the landscape, a steady, dark ribbon that marks the moisture-heavy bottomlands where longleaf pines stand in solemn, needle-strewn clusters. The air here holds a thick, vegetative warmth, clinging to the skin with the weight of inland humidity that settles over the fields long before the shadows lengthen. To the north, the distant rise of Balcom Hill breaks the horizon, a muted silhouette against the pale, expansive sky, while the quietude of Posey Hollow offers a slight, verdant dip in the terrain seven miles away. The light at dusk turns the dusty roads into ribbons of copper, illuminating the slow, deliberate movement of the wind through the swaying grasses.
Slocomb carries the enduring character of a place built upon the patient labor of the harvest, where the rhythms of the agricultural season dictate the pulse of the day. The local economy remains tethered to these fields, a legacy of pecan groves and crop rows that have defined the livelihood of the residents for generations. Beyond the town limits, the landscape offers space for reflection, whether at the quiet edges of Open Pond or through the wooded trails of Taylor Park. Life in Slocomb moves with the steady, unforced cadence of a pendulum, valuing the continuity of tradition and the sturdy, unpretentious architecture of a working landscape. The community maintains a distinct connection to the land, finding a quiet, persistent beauty in the seasonal turning of the crops and the enduring presence of the creek that has watched over the development of the region since its earliest days.

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.
