How to Use This Sulligent, Alabama Map

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

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.

Sulligent occupies a quiet expanse of the Alabama interior, where the land unfolds in a series of modest rises and shallow depressions blanketed by thick stands of timber. It lies 47.9 miles south-southwest of Russellville, AL (from Russellville, AL: bearing 209°T), and is situated 18.6 miles south-southwest of Hamilton. Bogue Creek carves a winding path through the soil just a mile away, its dark, slow-moving waters providing a constant, muted soundtrack to the surrounding woods. To the northwest, the distant silhouette of Cains Ridge breaks the horizon, a faint serrated line against the pale blue sky that suggests the rugged terrain lying far beyond these fields. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that seems to slow the progression of the afternoon, especially when the golden light of dusk catches the dust motes rising from the red-clay paths. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the landscape opens into broader tracts of vegetation, with the Sam R. Murphy Wildlife Management Area marking a stretch of wilder territory eight miles out, while the quiet waters of Sulligent Lake remain a secluded fixture three miles from the center.

Sulligent emerged from the steady expansion of rail lines and agrarian commerce, growing into a place defined by its reliance on the rhythm of the harvest and the industriousness of its residents. The local economy has long been anchored by a mix of manufacturing and agriculture, creating a culture where the value of a day’s labor is measured by tangible results rather than abstract progress. While the Fayette State Experiment Forest stands twenty miles distant as a reminder of the region’s timber heritage, the daily life of Sulligent remains focused on the immediate connections between neighbors and the preservation of long-standing social ties. The town maintains a deliberate pace, one where the urgency of the modern world feels dampened by the weight of the humid air and the familiarity of the surrounding hills. It is a place where the seasons dictate the mood of the streets, and where the collective memory of the populace keeps the character of the locality grounded in a persistent, unassuming stability.

About This Sulligent Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sulligent, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.891189, -88.126633. 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 Sulligent includes the ZIP code (35586), telephone area code (205), county seat of Lamar County (Vernon), and school district assignment (Lamar 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.
