How to Use This Mountain Brook, Alabama Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mountain Brook, 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 Mountain Brook.
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 Mountain Brook, Alabama
Mountain Brook is a locality in Madison County, Alabama, United States. It has a population of 22,461. The population density is 676.5 people per km². Mountain Brook is located at 33.4915°N, 86.7345°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Mountain Brook is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 35801, 35213.Mountain Brook emerges from the dense, humid canopy of the Alabama interior as a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of ancient hardwoods and the subtle, red-clay topography of the region. It lies 2.2 miles east of Huntsville, AL (from Huntsville, AL: bearing 99°T), and is situated 8.8 miles south of Meridianville. Broad, leafy avenues wind through the terrain, tracing the contours of a land that remains far removed from the distant, restless movement of the coast. The air here holds a heavy, lingering warmth, carrying the scent of pine and the damp, earth-rich breath of Fagan Creek, which carves a narrow path through the nearby landscape. Rising only a mile away, Round Top Mountain provides a steady, silent anchor to the horizon, while the proximity of Monte Sano Preserve ensures that the wilder, wooded character of the plateau remains an intimate neighbor to the residential lanes.
Mountain Brook maintains a deliberate pace, its identity forged in the mid-twentieth century when planners sought to harmonize refined architecture with the natural, undulating terrain of Fagan Hollow. The economy reflects a legacy of professional stability, where the quiet commerce of village centers supports a life defined by tradition and educational focus. Unlike the industrial bustle of larger hubs, the character of Mountain Brook is measured in the long, golden shadows that stretch across manicured lawns at dusk and the enduring rhythm of a community that values its architectural consistency. While Wheeler Lake lies nine miles away, providing a vast, still expanse of water to the north, the local focus remains firmly on the immediate, sheltered valleys and the persistent, quiet growth of the surrounding forest.

About This Mountain Brook Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mountain Brook, Alabama. Coordinates: 33.491488, -86.73447. 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 Mountain Brook includes the ZIP code (35801, 35213), telephone area code (256, 205), county seat of Madison County (Huntsville), and school district assignment (Mountain Brook City 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.
