Coverage Maps

Thank you for visiting the ConnectingALABAMA mapping page. Here you will find links to both interactive and static maps of internet access throughout the state.

INTERACTIVE MAP

The interactive map allows users to zoom directly to any portion of the state to review broadband availability at a street-segment level. Users may enter an address to review a specific area, or may zoom and pan across the map manually. Internet access speeds are shown in color-coded segments, and a list of available providers is shown after clicking directly on a map location.

STATIC MAPS

Static maps are provided as a Hi-Res Adobe PDF as well as a lower resolution PNG format. The lower resolution files will open up in a new browser window. Because the PDF files are rather large we would suggest you download the file to your desktop first and open it locally (i.e., from your local hard drive).

You may select from any of the direct state-wide map links below, or use the pull down menu to choose maps for individual counties.
