Explore Union Grove, 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 Union Grove, 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 Union Grove.
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.

Union Grove occupies a high plateau where the red-clay earth holds the warmth of the afternoon sun long after the shadows lengthen. It lies 15.9 miles east of Cullman, AL (from Cullman, AL: bearing 83°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southwest of Arab. The landscape unfolds in quiet layers, defined by the proximity of Beckworth Branch, which marks the low, damp edges of the surrounding woodland, and the distant, hazy silhouette of Dividing Ridge that anchors the horizon to the north. At five miles' remove, the earth dips into the quiet shade of Gandy Hollow, while the broader, deeper waters of Guntersville Lake wait twelve miles away, offering a vast, still mirror to the sky. The atmosphere here is heavy with the scent of pine needles and damp soil, a stillness that seems to suspend the passage of time as the light turns a bruised, honeyed gold against the tree lines.
Union Grove maintains a steady, deliberate pace rooted in the agricultural traditions of the inland plateau, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the seasons and the demands of the land. History is felt in the quiet persistence of family homesteads and the modest infrastructure that supports the local population, including the nearby presence of State-owned Submerged Lands, which preserves the wild character of the adjacent terrain. Life here is defined by the practicalities of a rural existence, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, where the most notable events are the turning of the crops and the seasonal changes in the canopy. While the horizon offers the distant prospect of Little River Falls for those inclined toward a long journey, the residents of Union Grove find a quiet sufficiency in the immediate textures of their own soil and the slow, reliable cycle of the days.

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.
