How to Use This Bridgeport, Alabama Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bridgeport, 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 Bridgeport.
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.

About Bridgeport, Alabama
Bridgeport is a locality in Jackson County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,264. The population density is 202.0 people per km². Bridgeport is located at 34.9476°N, 85.7144°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Bridgeport is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 35740.Bridgeport occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth shifts from level fields into the shadow of Summerhouse Mountain, which looms four miles away as a constant, silent guardian. It lies 26.3 miles northeast of Scottsboro, AL (from Scottsboro, AL: bearing 44°T), and is situated 4.5 miles south of South Pittsburg. Red clay defines the color of the back roads, staining the tires of passing trucks and marking the transition from the low-lying plains toward the geological intrigue of Hogjaw Valley just two miles to the west. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that seems to press against the longleaf pine and hardwood trees, especially when the afternoon light catches the dust motes and turns the atmosphere into something thick and golden. A nearby stream meanders through the periphery, offering a cool, reflective surface that mirrors the shifting clouds while the land remains firmly planted three hundred twenty-one miles from any coastline.
Bridgeport carries the weight of a long industrial memory, its economy once tethered to the iron and coal that defined the region’s development. The landscape holds deeper, older secrets, evidenced by the proximity of Russell Cave National Monument only six miles away, where layers of human history are pressed into the limestone earth. Those who traverse the local terrain might follow the River Mont Cave Historical Trail, a four-mile path that invites a slow, deliberate pace through the brush and shaded clearings. Life in Bridgeport moves with a measured cadence, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and the enduring resilience of a place that values its connection to the ground beneath its feet rather than the fleeting pace of the modern world.

About This Bridgeport Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bridgeport, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.947581, -85.714416. 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 Bridgeport includes the ZIP code (35740), telephone area code (256), county seat of Jackson County (Scottsboro), and school district assignment (Jackson 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.
