How to Use This Egypt, Alabama Map

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

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 Egypt, Alabama

Egypt is a locality in Marshall County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 845. The population density is 36.2 people per km². Egypt is located at 34.0759°N, 86.1651°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 35016, 35952.

Egypt occupies a quiet expanse of North Alabama where the land settles into a series of modest, sun-bleached ridges and heavy, red-clay hollows. It lies 19.3 miles west-northwest of Albertville, AL (from Albertville, AL: bearing 286°T), and is situated 2.8 miles northwest of Arab. Perkins Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth just a mile away, its banks lined with the tangled roots of hardwoods that hold the soil against the seasonal rains. To the north, the elevation rises toward the slopes of Pritchett Mountain, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields as the afternoon light wanes. The air here carries the weight of the inland heat, thick and still, muffling the distant sounds of machinery and the occasional rustle of pine needles. Beyond the immediate fields, the broader topography leans toward the basin of Ryan Cove, creating a landscape of segmented horizons and dense, verdant pockets of growth.

Egypt remains defined by the slow, deliberate work of the soil, where the economy has long been anchored to the rhythms of agriculture and the maintenance of the surrounding timberland. Residents find common ground at Thompson Eidson Park, a modest space that serves as a point of stillness away from the transit of the main roads. The memory of the land is tied to the labor of those who cleared these woods and worked the stubborn clay, leaving behind a quiet resilience that persists in the way the local infrastructure adheres to the contours of the terrain. Even as the modern world encroaches, the proximity of Guntersville Lake provides a vast, silver anchor to the east, influencing the humidity and the slow, steady pace of life. A distinct, unpretentious clarity defines the days here, grounded in the simple necessity of tending to the fields and the woods that define the edges of the horizon.

About This Egypt Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Egypt, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.075938, -86.165054. 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 Egypt includes the ZIP code (35016, 35952), telephone area code (205, 256, 334), county seat of Marshall County (Guntersville), and school district assignment (Etowah 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.
