How to Use This Stevenson, Alabama Map

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

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 Stevenson, Alabama

Stevenson is a locality in Jackson County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,955. The population density is 98.1 people per km².

Stevenson rises from the red-clay earth where the land begins to shoulder the weight of the nearby Stewart Ridge. It lies 17.5 miles northeast of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 39°T), and is situated 8.9 miles southwest of Bridgeport. The horizon here is defined by the heavy, humid air that clings to the bottomland hardwoods and the low-hanging branches of longleaf pine, creating a landscape that feels suspended in a quiet, amber light. To the west, the waters of Guntersville Lake pull the sky down into the valley, while the quiet flow of Bengis Creek carves a path through the dense, verdant terrain. Beyond the immediate fields, Huddleston Cove offers a deep, sheltered hollow where the shadows lengthen early, and the Jackson County Waterfowl Area And Refuge provides a sanctuary for the creatures that move through these woods in the stillness of dawn.

Stevenson grew from the iron and steam of the nineteenth century, its identity forged by the intersecting rail lines that once turned this quiet outpost into a bustling nexus of commerce. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the land and the endurance of its people, who maintain a pace set by the seasonal cycles of the fields rather than the frantic ticking of a clock. Visitors seeking a connection to the past often traverse the River Mont Cave Historical Trail, finding a tangible link to the geology and heritage that define the region. In the evenings, when the heat breaks and the crickets begin their persistent song, the life of Stevenson settles into a steady, unadorned grace, indifferent to the noise of the world far beyond its borders.

About This Stevenson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Stevenson, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.876797, -85.81435. 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 Stevenson includes the ZIP code (35772), telephone area code (256), county seat of Jackson County (Scottsboro), and school district assignment (Jackson 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.
