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 emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of fields and woodlands, defined by the slow, deliberate work of the inland seasons. It lies 7.4 miles northeast of Meridianville, AL (from Meridianville, AL: bearing 44°T), and is situated 6.2 miles south-southeast of Lincoln. The landscape here is carved by the gentle drainage of Bethany Branch, a narrow artery of water that marks the land just a mile away, feeding into the moisture-heavy soil that sustains thickets of hardwood. To the east, the silhouette of Pea Ridge rises against the horizon, a firm boundary that catches the low, slanted light of late afternoon. Just three miles out, the waters of Jimmy Johnston Lake hold the reflection of the sky in a stillness that persists through the humid afternoons, while the nearby State-owned Submerged Lands preserve a quiet, untamed stretch of terrain that feels as old as the bedrock itself.
Union Grove carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian history, where the rhythms of the local economy have shifted from the labor of the soil toward the varied trades of a modern, inland life. The deeper depressions of the land, such as Jones Hollow, remain shadowed and cool, providing a natural sanctuary where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the shadows. Life in Union Grove is measured not by sudden changes but by the enduring character of its people, who maintain a steady connection to the geography that surrounds them. Even as the modern world encroaches, the horizon remains dominated by the ancient, weathered rise of the landscape, ensuring that the identity of the place stays rooted in the quiet, red-earth reality of the interior.

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.
