Explore Apison, 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 Apison, 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 Apison.
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.

Apison emerges from the landscape as a collection of quiet, sun-drenched pastures and dense woodland tracts that hold the morning mist with a patient, heavy stillness. It lies 2.5 miles southeast of Collegedale, TN (from Collegedale, TN: bearing 143°T), and is situated 9.0 miles southeast of Harrison. The earth here, far removed from the sharp peaks of the Appalachian Mountains that loom as a faint, jagged promise on the distant horizon, feels settled and deep. Chestnut Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the terrain, its banks lined with the tangled roots of ancient trees that drink deeply from the soil. Just three miles away, the quiet basin of Owl Hollow catches the runoff from the high ground, while the gentle waters of Hidden Valley Lake remain a stillness against the persistent respiration of the woods. Light in Apison settles with a particular density, turning the fields to a muted, dusty gold as the afternoon wanes and the shadows stretch long across the clover.
Apison functions as a landscape of transition, where the echoes of agricultural heritage linger in the quietude of the land despite the steady encroachment of modern transit and suburban growth. The local economy, once defined by the rhythms of the harvest and the small-scale labor of the earth, now finds its pulse in the steady hum of commuters and the deliberate pace of those who favor the seclusion of the rural edge. Residents find a communal anchor at Apison Park, a space that preserves the necessary openness of the land against the tightening grip of development. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the silent, enduring fences and the weathered wood of structures that have seen decades of change. Life moves with an internal gravity, anchored by the simple necessity of maintaining a connection to the geography, ensuring that even as the world accelerates, the character of Apison remains tethered to the slow, turning cycle of the seasons.

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.
