Explore Woodland, 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 Woodland, 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 Woodland.
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.

Woodland emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of life amidst the dense, enduring timber of the Alabama interior. It lies 1.8 miles south-southeast of Auburn, AL (from Auburn, AL: bearing 147°T), and is situated 6.4 miles southwest of Opelika. The landscape surrounding Woodland consists of deep, iron-rich soil that clings to the boots of those who walk its paths, punctuated by the cooling influence of Lake Wilmore just a mile away. Water moves with a deliberate, hushed persistence through Moores Mill Creek, carving small, shadowed channels that sustain the verdant growth of the local hardwoods. On the distant horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Flint Ridge provides a permanent boundary to the sky, while the atmosphere retains a heavy, humid stillness that seems to press the scent of pine needles into the very air. At Moore's Mill Park, the sunlight shifts through the canopy in long, amber slats, illuminating the quiet spaces where the forest floor meets the edge of human industry.
The history of Woodland is etched into the patterns of small-scale agriculture and the slow, steady labor of the forest economy that has defined this region for generations. Residents maintain a pace of life that respects the seasonal turns of the earth, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger industrial centers. While the proximity to Tuskegee National Forest offers a vast, protected expanse of wilderness, the local character remains anchored in the traditions of the rural South, where the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the rhythm of the days. The economy here is a modest, persistent thing, built upon the resourcefulness of those who have long understood the value of the land. In the quiet intersections of these red-clay back roads, one finds a profound sense of continuity, where the past is not a museum piece but a living, breathing component of how the present hour is spent.

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.
