Explore Memphis, 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 Memphis, 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 Memphis.
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.

Memphis emerges from the flat, red-clay expanse of the Alabama interior, where the land holds the heavy, humid weight of the afternoon. It lies 42.1 miles west of Northport, AL (from Northport, AL: bearing 261°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west of Aliceville. Wallace Creek carves a deliberate, quiet path through the terrain, its banks lined with the deep green of bottomland hardwoods that seem to drink the thick summer air. Only a mile away, the still surface of Steps Lake reflects a sky that turns the color of bruised plums as the light wanes, casting long, sharp shadows across the fields. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy outline of the Walnut Hills offers a jagged contrast to the otherwise leveled horizon, providing a silent, immovable boundary to the view. Everywhere one looks, the State-owned Submerged Lands preserve the raw, unkempt character of the wetlands, where the cycles of growth and decay continue without human interruption.
Memphis endures as a place of quiet persistence, its history anchored in the soil and the slow, rhythmic labor of the agricultural traditions that define the local economy. The architecture here favors utility over ornamentation, with modest structures built to withstand the swelter of long, sun-drenched growing seasons. Life in Memphis moves according to the demands of the harvest and the seasons, a pace that feels less like a choice and more like a response to the land’s own temperament. Pecan groves and small-scale plantings signify a way of life that remains tethered to the cycles of the earth, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. In the quiet hours of the morning, when the mist clings to the low-lying areas, the stillness reveals a landscape that is both ancient and entirely present, holding its own memory in the texture of the dust and the slow, deliberate flow of the water.

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.
