How to Use This Gallant, Alabama Map

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

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 Gallant, Alabama

Gallant is a locality in Etowah County, Alabama, United States. It is a small community with a population of 869. The population density is 23.3 people per km². Gallant is located at 34.0013°N, 86.2302°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 35972.

Gallant occupies a landscape where the dense, humid air of the deep interior clings to the low-lying timber and red-clay earth. It lies 12.0 miles west-northwest of Rainbow City, AL (from Rainbow City, AL: bearing 285°T), and is situated 9.1 miles west of Attalla. The horizon is defined by the steady, muted presence of Blount Mountain, which anchors the view six miles to the west, while the immediate topography dips into the quiet seclusion of Bull Hollow. A mile from the center, the steady progress of Clear Creek carves a path through the brush, its waters moving with a deliberate, muddy patience that dictates the pace of the surrounding woods. Two miles away, the surface of Etowah Conservation Lake catches the afternoon light, holding a stillness that seems to temper the heat of the day.

Gallant persists as a place defined by the quiet labor of the land, where the shadow of Chandler Mountain Macrosite serves as a reminder of the region’s rugged, protected natural heritage. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the modest industry that has long sustained families living between the ridges. There is an understated dignity in the way the morning mist lingers over the fields, a persistence that speaks to a history of self-reliance rather than grand spectacle. Life in Gallant follows the slow, seasonal turn of the hardwood forests, where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the deepening color of the leaves and the cooling of the soil as the year wanes.

About This Gallant Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gallant, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.001318, -86.230171. 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 Gallant includes the ZIP code (35972), telephone area code (334, 205), county seat of Etowah County (Gadsden), 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.
