How to Use This Tidmore Bend, Alabama Map

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

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.

Tidmore Bend occupies a quiet, verdant corner of the landscape where the Coosa River carves a deliberate path through the Alabama terrain. It lies 4.8 miles east-northeast of Gadsden, AL (from Gadsden, AL: bearing 75°T), and is situated 8.6 miles northeast of Rainbow City. Sunlight filters through the canopy of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood, casting long, amber shadows across red-clay lanes that seem to hold the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has dipped toward the silhouette of Big Mountain in the distance. The air here is thick and still, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine resin, while the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a quiet wilderness that buffers the encroaching pace of the modern world. Two miles away, the surface of Estess Lake remains a flat, dark mirror, reflecting the heavy clouds that often gather before the evening humidity settles over the fields.

Tidmore Bend retains the character of a place defined by its proximity to the water and the slow, rhythmic labor of the land. Historically, the economy has been anchored in the rhythms of the soil and the resources provided by the river, with agriculture and local industry shaping the lives of those who call these woods home. Residents often look toward the nearby Fords Valley for its fertile promise or venture out to observe the sheer drop of Noccalula Falls, where the water’s persistent energy serves as a local landmark of enduring power. Life in Tidmore Bend moves with a measured, deliberate gravity, favoring the steady work of the seasons over the frantic pulse of larger centers, ensuring that the identity of the place remains firmly rooted in its own distinct, quiet geography.

About This Tidmore Bend Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tidmore Bend, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.0324, -85.9253. 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 Tidmore Bend includes the ZIP code (35901), telephone area code (334, 205), county seat of Etowah County (Gadsden), and school district assignment (Etowah 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.
