Explore Alamo, Tennessee, 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 Alamo, Tennessee. 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 Tennessee 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 Alamo.
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.

Alamo occupies a quiet expanse of West Tennessee where the earth spreads out in broad, fertile patience. It lies 14.8 miles northeast of Haywood, TN (from Haywood, TN: bearing 51°T), and is situated 7.9 miles north of Jones. The landscape surrounding Alamo is defined by the steady, unyielding flatness of the Delta, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed. Travelers moving through the vicinity might notice the way the late afternoon light flattens against the fields, turning the soil into a dark, rich velvet before the shadows stretch from the tree lines. While the terrain lacks the drama of distant peaks, the gentle elevation of Horns Bluff rises five miles away as a solitary feature in the otherwise level plain. Nearby, the waters of Kail Creek trace a slow, deliberate path through the earth, and the stillness of Bells Aerated Lagoon Number One Lake offers a rare, reflective surface five miles removed from the center of activity.
Alamo serves as the administrative core for the surrounding agricultural holdings, maintaining a pace dictated by the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest. Life in Alamo centers on the rhythms of local commerce and the shared space of Alamo City Park, where the community gathers beneath the shade of mature trees. The history of the area is tied to the cultivation of the land, a tradition that persists in the quiet industry of the region and the enduring architecture of its storefronts. Five miles away, the area known as Mound Field provides a physical reminder of the long human presence in this part of the state, grounding the modern day in a deep, silent antiquity. The atmosphere remains one of modest endurance, where the passage of time is marked not by grand events, but by the subtle, recurring shifts in the color of the crops and the cooling of the evening air.

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.
