Explore Fairview, Alabama, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fairview, 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 Fairview.
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.

Fairview rises from the red-clay earth as a quiet gathering of fields and woodlands, defined by the persistent, winding course of Camp Branch as it cuts through the landscape. It lies 18.0 miles south of Russellville, AL (from Russellville, AL: bearing 191°T), and is situated 9.8 miles west of Haleyville. The atmosphere here is thick with the weight of summer humidity, pressing against the bottomland hardwood forests that border the low-lying Brush Creek Hollow. To the north, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of Hoggle Ridge, a reminder of the rising terrain that eventually transitions into the higher elevations of the region. On quiet afternoons, the light catches the surface of Tyre Mill Pond, turning the water into a sheet of hammered copper before the shadows of the longleaf pines stretch across the fields.
Fairview maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects its heritage as an agricultural outpost, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the labor of the day. While the local economy remains tied to the land and the surrounding forest, the influence of the wider region is felt in the steady transit of goods and the quiet persistence of its residents. Those seeking the reprieve of a public space often look toward the Haleyville Sports Complex, while the more adventurous may travel to witness the water spilling over the rock face at Quarter Creek Falls. Life in Fairview is measured by the slow accumulation of these small, familiar landmarks, moving forward with the same steady, unforced movement as the water in the nearby creeks.

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.
