How to Use This York, Alabama Map

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

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.

York emerges from the low, humid expanses of the Alabama landscape as a place where the earth turns to a stubborn, iron-rich red. It lies 25.2 miles east-northeast of Meridian, MS (from Meridian, MS: bearing 70°T), and is situated 9.3 miles southwest of Livingston. Toomsuba Creek marks the western edge of the local geography, its sluggish, winding passage serving as a quiet artery through the dense stands of longleaf pine and bottomland hardwood that define the region. Three miles to the east, the rounded silhouette of Alamuchee Hill rises above the flat horizon, while the waters of Lake Annie lie five miles out, holding the reflection of the sky in a stillness that rarely breaks. The air here holds a heavy, lingering warmth, carrying the scent of damp soil and the subtle, metallic tang of the clay that shapes the ground underfoot.

York remains anchored by the persistent rhythms of the rural South, where the echoes of industrial transition and the legacy of the railroad still define the layout of the streets. The local economy has shifted over the decades from the pulse of timber and commerce to a quieter, more deliberate pace, leaving behind a landscape that honors its civil-rights memory alongside the functional demands of modern life. Nearby, the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a protected sanctuary for the flora and fauna that thrive in the thickets, standing as a reminder of the wilder, untamed character of the plains. Life in York moves with a measured gravity, observed by those who recognize the beauty in the way the late afternoon light catches the dust rising from a clay road, turning the mundane into something momentarily golden.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of York, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.500586, -88.291394. 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 York includes the ZIP code (36925), telephone area code (205, 251, 256, 334, 938), county seat of Sumter County (Livingston), and school district assignment (Sumter 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.
