Explore Summerdale, 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 Summerdale, 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 Summerdale.
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.

Summerdale expands across a landscape of quiet, red-clay earth where the dark, slow-moving currents of Negro Creek trace a path through the dense stands of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood. It lies 5.7 miles north of Foley, AL (from Foley, AL: bearing 350°T), and is situated 4.6 miles south of Robertsdale. The air here holds a heavy, persistent humidity that seems to slow the progression of the afternoon, pressing against the broad leaves of the local timber and softening the sharp edges of the horizon. In the stillness of the heat, the light takes on a bruised, amber quality as it filters through the swaying Spanish moss, illuminating the fine dust that rises from the unpaved back roads. While the terrain remains largely level, the land stretches out into a vast, fertile plain that feels detached from the frantic pace of distant, crowded centers, offering instead a profound silence that defines the character of the woods.
Summerdale serves as a quiet witness to a history rooted deeply in the cycles of agriculture, where the legacy of peach and pecan groves continues to shape the rhythm of the local economy. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the influence of the region is felt in the steady, agrarian persistence of the people who maintain the orchards and manage the land. Those seeking recreation often traverse the four miles to the Robertsdale Tennis Complex, a site that marks a social intersection in this otherwise agrarian expanse. Though the nearest reaches of Oyster Bay lie fourteen miles away and the elevation of Stony Hill remains a distant silhouette twenty-four miles to the north, Summerdale remains anchored to its own specific, terrestrial identity. The daily life here moves with the deliberate pace of a season, reflecting a heritage of labor and patience that remains as enduring as the soil itself.

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.
