How to Use This Foley, Alabama Map

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

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.

Foley holds a quiet grace where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of longleaf pine and the steady, unseen pull of the Gulf of Mexico just seven miles away. It lies 11.1 miles north of Gulf Shores, AL (from Gulf Shores, AL: bearing 5°T), and is situated 6.9 miles north-northeast of Bon Secour. The landscape remains defined by the rhythmic passage of Wolf Creek, which meanders through the terrain and marks the land with its persistent, dark-water presence. Visitors often find themselves wandering through the verdant expanse of John B Foley Park, a protected space that serves as the literal center of the local geography. Beyond the park, the horizon stretches toward the distant, flat reaches of the landscape, offering a sense of openness that feels both ancient and immediate. When the sun begins to fade, the light takes on a gilded, heavy quality, pressing down against the earth and turning the local foliage into silhouettes of deep, resonant green.

Foley grew from the ambition of pioneers who looked at the surrounding soil and saw the potential for a thriving agricultural hub. The early economy leaned heavily on the bounty of the land, with farmers shipping produce across the country via the arrival of the railroad. Today, the commercial spirit of Foley has evolved to embrace diverse industries while maintaining a deep respect for its agrarian roots. Long stretches of red-clay back roads still wind through the outskirts, connecting modern businesses to the hardworking legacy of the past. The local economy thrives on a blend of retail and service, mirroring the steady growth of a region that honors its history without becoming stagnant. It is a place where the labor of the day is measured by the tangible results left behind in the fields and the storefronts alike.

Foley maintains a distinct cultural character that feels anchored in the slow, deliberate pace of the Southern tradition. Notable landmarks like the historic train depot serve as anchors for the community, preserving the memory of an era when the locomotive was the heartbeat of all travel. Local events often center around the park, where neighbors gather to celebrate seasonal harvests and the unique climate that allows for year-round outdoor engagement. While the town remains humble, it has seen figures like the legendary college football coach Pat Dye, who spent his formative years in the region, drawing inspiration from the resilience of the landscape. The atmosphere remains quiet and contemplative, a reflection of a people who find beauty in the subtle shift of the seasons and the enduring, salt-tinged breeze that drifts in from the coast. Life here moves with the patience of a river, steady and sure, never rushing toward a conclusion that it has not already earned.

About This Foley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Foley, Alabama. Coordinates: 30.397009, -87.664211. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
