How to Use This Anderson, Tennessee Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Anderson, 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 Anderson.

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 Anderson, Tennessee

Anderson is a locality in Sullivan County, Tennessee, United States. Anderson is located at 36.5404°N, 82.3213°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 38574, 37388, 37617.

Anderson sits where the light catches the low-lying silt of Muddy Creek, which carves a persistent, quiet path through the surrounding earth. It lies 3.5 miles north-northeast of Sullivan, TN (from Sullivan, TN: bearing 22°T), and is situated 4.4 miles northwest of Hamilton. The land here rises in slow, deliberate swells toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains that sharpen the horizon to the east. Nearby, Leonard Hollow catches the evening shadows, deepening the gray of the soil as the sun retreats behind the woodland canopy. The water of Boone Lake, just a few miles away, holds a stillness that mirrors the heavy, humid air of the late afternoon, while the grounds of City Of Bristol provide a expanse of green that absorbs the sounds of the encroaching night.

Anderson maintains a rhythm dictated by the soil and the slow turning of the calendar in this landlocked interior. The local economy is tied to the stubborn productivity of the fields and the modest commerce that moves along the veins of the region’s roads, far from the frantic pace of larger hubs. History here is kept in the quiet habits of the people who work the earth or navigate the proximity of the creek, finding value in the continuity of the landscape. Life in Anderson moves with the gravity of the seasons, unadorned and steady, shaped by a geography that asks for little more than patience and a watchful eye on the changing weather.

About This Anderson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Anderson, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.540381, -82.32125. 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 Anderson includes the ZIP code (38574, 37388, 37617), telephone area code (731, 865), county seat of Sullivan County (Blountville), and school district assignment.

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.
