Explore Trussville, 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 Trussville, 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 Trussville.
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.

Trussville reveals its character through the quiet, persistent flow of Pinchgut Creek, which defines the drainage of the local landscape. It lies 4.7 miles east-southeast of Center Point, AL (from Center Point, AL: bearing 113°T), and is situated 7.1 miles west-northwest of Moody. The terrain surrounding Trussville is characterized by the modest elevation of Talladega Hill, which rises a single mile away to break the horizon. Residents often find respite in the verdant expanse of Magnolia Park, a local focal point that sits at the very center of the region. Nearby, the waters of Lake George offer a tranquil reflection of the sky, sitting just three miles from the main thoroughfares. Deep within this inland territory, the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of pine, settling over the valley floor of Poplar Spring to create a stillness that lingers long after the sun dips below the crests.
Trussville emerged from the intersection of agricultural necessity and the slow expansion of industrial infrastructure that defined the broader region. Early commerce was anchored by the iron and coal industries that once fueled the local economy, gradually shifting toward a modern landscape of commerce and retail. Today, the economic vitality of Trussville relies on a diverse array of professional services and local enterprises that keep the pace of daily life steady and industrious. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the legacy of that labor remains present in the sturdy architecture of the older districts. The transition from a small settlement to a thriving hub has been shaped by the persistent efforts of those who saw potential in the red-clay soil and accessible geography.
Trussville maintains a cultural identity rooted in the steady rhythms of suburban life, where community gatherings and seasonal festivals mark the passage of time. The local calendar is punctuated by events that draw neighbors together, fostering a sense of continuity that feels distinctly localized rather than generic. Among the individuals who have left their mark on the wider world, the actor Chris Spencer represents a notable connection to the creative arts, having spent formative years here. Architecture in Trussville often reflects a blend of traditional styles, with residential neighborhoods radiating outward from the historic commercial nodes. Whether observing the light filtering through the trees at Magnolia Park or attending a high school football game, the spirit of Trussville remains tied to its specific place in the landscape.

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.
