How to Use This Fairfield, Alabama Map

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

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.

Fairfield occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Tacky Branch, which carves a path through the red-clay earth of the Alabama interior. It lies 14.8 miles west of Hartselle, AL (from Hartselle, AL: bearing 278°T), and is situated 5.7 miles east of Moulton. Heavy, humid air hangs over the terrain, pressing down on the stands of longleaf pine and the dense hardwoods that thrive in the pockets of shade near the water. Six miles to the west, the silhouette of Chestnut Ridge rises against the sky, grounding the horizon in a jagged line of stone and timber that seems to hold the heat of the afternoon in its shadow. Two miles distant, the quiet surface of Oakville Pond reflects the shifting light of dusk, offering a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic, industrial hum that once defined the lifeblood of the region.

Fairfield emerged from the iron and coal that lay deep beneath the surface, a place forged by the heavy labor of furnaces and the clatter of steel production. The economy shifted as the mills grew quiet, leaving behind a legacy of resilience etched into the brickwork of old storefronts and the memories of the families who built their lives here. Five miles away, the grounds of K.C. Mckelvy Park offer a quiet space for the community to gather, a reprieve from the persistent memory of the industrial work that shaped the town’s founding. Beyond the immediate streets, the path to Happy Hollow reminds travelers of the rugged, sunken topography that characterizes this inland stretch of the country, where the history of the soil is as deep as the roots of the trees.
