How to Use This Hamilton, Alabama Map

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

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.

Hamilton marks the landscape where Ragsdale Creek carves a persistent, winding path through the deep red earth. It lies 29.3 miles south-southwest of Russellville, AL (from Russellville, AL: bearing 211°T), and is situated 17.7 miles north-northwest of Winfield. The terrain surrounding Hamilton reveals itself in quiet layers of woodland and open fields, standing at a significant distance from any coastline. To the north, the distant outline of Hoggle Ridge defines the horizon, while the terrain closer to the settlement settles into the gentle depressions of Prospect Hollow. Residents often find solace at County Lake, a basin of still water located six miles from the main thoroughfare. The air here carries the heavy, humid weight of the inland South, settling over the longleaf pines and hardwood stands as the afternoon sun begins to fade.

Industry in Hamilton has long been anchored by the steady labor of manufacturing and the rhythmic output of local mills. These enterprises provide the primary fiber of the local economy, connecting the daily work of residents to a broader network of regional trade. The history of Hamilton remains tied to the persistence of those who worked the soil and built the structures that house the current production lines. Small-scale agriculture persists alongside these industrial efforts, reflecting a long tradition of self-reliance in the region. The pace of commerce moves with a deliberate, measured quality, favoring the careful maintenance of existing infrastructure over rapid expansion.

Hamilton fosters a cultural character defined by a quiet, communal resilience and a shared appreciation for the slower passage of time. The Hamilton Rec Center Park serves as a focal point for the citizenry, offering a green space for recreation just a mile from the center of activity. Local gatherings throughout the year draw the people together, reinforcing the social bonds that sustain the neighborhood through every changing season. While the pace of life remains unhurried, the influence of those who have shaped the region’s identity continues to resonate in the quiet habits of daily interaction. The spirit of Hamilton is perhaps best observed at dusk, when the light turns a soft, bruised purple against the treeline and the evening settles into a profound, expectant silence.

About This Hamilton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hamilton, Alabama. Coordinates: 34.138713, -87.970833. 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 Hamilton includes the ZIP code (35570), telephone area code (205), county seat of Marion County (Hamilton), and school district assignment (Marion 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.
