How to Use This Town Creek, Alabama Map

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

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.

Town Creek emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet confluence of bottomland hardwood forests and expansive agricultural fields. It lies 15.5 miles east-southeast of Muscle Shoals, AL (from Muscle Shoals, AL: bearing 106°T), and is situated 17.4 miles east-southeast of Florence. Warren Branch carves a narrow, persistent path through the local landscape, its waters feeding into the moisture-rich soil that sustains the surrounding timber and crops. To the south, the terrain lifts toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Peanut Ridge, while the proximity of Campground Hollow creates a subtle, sheltered basin that catches the heavy, humid air of the afternoons. The quietude here is punctuated only by the shift of light across the canopy, where the sun turns the pine needles to bronze before settling behind the horizon.

Town Creek maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycle of the land, reflecting a heritage deeply rooted in the agricultural labor that has defined this region for generations. Residents navigate the landscape with an intimate knowledge of the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands, a vast expanse that speaks to the wilder, wetter character of the terrain. The nearby waters of Boatwright Slough and the cascading descent of The Fall Off serve as quiet reminders of the geological forces that shaped this inland territory. Economic life remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the quiet endurance of those who work it, fostering a community identity that remains fixed in the permanence of the surrounding geography.

About This Town Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Town Creek, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.671301, -87.407763. 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 Town Creek includes the ZIP code (35672), telephone area code (256), county seat of Lawrence County (Moulton), and school district assignment (Lawrence 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.
