Geography
Haleyville is located in northwestern Winston County and northeastern Marion County at 34°13′48″N 87°37′8″W / 34.23000°N 87.61889°W / 34.23000; -87.61889 (34.230131, -87.618978). It is 6 miles (10 km) east of Bear Creek, 14 miles (23 km) north of Lynn, 19 miles (31 km) northwest of Double Springs, the Winston county seat, and 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Hamilton, the Marion county seat.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 8.4 square miles (22 km), of which 0.05 square miles (0.13 km), or 0.60%, are water. The city sits on the Tennessee Valley Divide, with the north half of the town draining into tributaries of the Tennessee River, the southwest quarter draining to tributaries of the Tombigbee River, and the southeast quarter draining to tributaries of the Black Warrior River.
Northwest Alabama is in the foothills of the southwest end of the Appalachian Mountains, so Haleyville is hilly. The soil there, made of sand and clay combined, is very sensitive to water, so there are many creeks and little valleys. This is especially noticeable at the city lake, which is surrounded by hills.
