Explore Phil Campbell, 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 Phil Campbell, 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 Phil Campbell.
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.

Phil Campbell endures as a quiet convergence of red-clay earth and dense woodland, marked by the persistent, soft movement of Rhinehart Branch as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 10.9 miles south of Russellville, AL (from Russellville, AL: bearing 173°T), and is situated 9.9 miles north-northwest of Haleyville. The landscape is defined by the elevation of Chestnut Ridge rising to the distance, while the nearby depths of Cat Hollow provide a natural basin that catches the heavy, humid air of the afternoons. Only two miles away, the waters of Upper Bear Creek Reservoir hold the reflection of the sky, cooling the surrounding thickets of longleaf pine and hardwoods. The light here at dusk possesses a singular quality, pulling long shadows across the fields and turning the dust of the back roads into a fine, copper-colored mist that hangs low until nightfall.
Phil Campbell maintains a rhythm of life dictated by the seasonal labor of the land and the modest industry that sustains its families. While the echoes of past decades linger in the quiet architecture of the center, the present day is anchored by a steady, industrious pace that looks toward the future. Residents often travel toward the Haleyville Sports Complex for recreation, finding a communal space that bridges the space between neighboring settlements. Beyond the local shops and the quiet hum of daily work, the natural world asserts itself in places like the hidden drop of Quarter Creek Falls, where the sound of moving water serves as a constant reminder of the region’s topography. The character of the people remains as resilient as the soil itself, shaped by a history that values persistence and the slow, deliberate work of building a life in the interior of the state.

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.
