How to Use This Memphis, Alabama Map

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 deep, red-clay landscape of Alabama as a quiet collection of dwellings anchored to the slow, steady rhythm of the inland plains. It lies 6.3 miles south of Dothan, AL (from Dothan, AL: bearing 172°T), and is situated 5.9 miles east-southeast of Taylor. The earth here holds a heavy, humid warmth that seems to linger in the longleaf pines and bottomland hardwoods, while the serpentine course of Double Bridges Creek carves a low, shaded path through the surrounding fields just a mile away. On clear evenings, the silhouette of Balcom Hill rises fifteen miles to the distance, a faint, dark smudge against an amber sky that turns a bruised, twilight violet. Life in Memphis moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the quality of light at dusk softens the sharp edges of the horizon and turns the dust of the back roads into a shimmering, ephemeral haze.

Agriculture defines the spirit of Memphis, as the economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest that characterize this expanse of the South. Local lore whispers through the generations, marking a history that values the endurance of the land above the clamor of rapid industry. Beyond the immediate fields, the quiet acreage of Unknown Park offers a four-mile sanctuary for the native flora and fauna, standing as a testament to the preservation of the wilder, uncultivated stretches of the region. Those who traverse these roads often find themselves drawn to the stillness of Open Pond, eleven miles removed, where the water mirrors the shifting clouds and provides a singular point of reflection in a terrain defined by its modesty and its deep, earthen roots.

About This Memphis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Memphis, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.137044, -88.305942. 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 Memphis includes the ZIP code (36301, 35442), telephone area code (334, 256), county seat of Houston County (Dothan), and school district assignment (Pickens 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.
