Explore Arlington, 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 Arlington, 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 Arlington.
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.

Arlington occupies a stretch of fertile, level terrain that defines the western reaches of the state. It lies 6.4 miles northeast of Lakeland, TN (from Lakeland, TN: bearing 44°T), and is situated 9.5 miles west-northwest of Oakland. The landscape surrounding Arlington remains characterized by wide, open fields and dense patches of hardwood, where the light at dusk often turns a deep, bruised purple against the horizon. Beaver Creek meanders through the landscape just one mile away, its quiet waters carving a path through the soil. For those seeking a quiet respite, Forrest Park offers a local space for quiet reflection amidst the trees. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain holds the subtle, ancient weight of the plains, occasionally punctuated by the distant silhouette of The Mountain rising sixteen miles away.
Arlington traces its origins to the expansion of regional rail lines, which transformed a quiet agricultural crossroads into a hub for commerce and trade. The local economy has shifted from early reliance on cotton and timber to a modern mix of light industry and suburban development, though the memory of the soil remains in the town's work ethic. While industry keeps the wheels of Arlington turning, the pace of life here is governed by the slow transition of seasons across the flat, productive earth. Near the seven-mile mark, the low elevation of Spain Bottom serves as a reminder of the region’s drainage patterns and historical flood plains. Hall Lake, situated four miles away, provides a steady, reflective presence in a land defined by its industrious output and persistent connection to the ground.
Arlington maintains a steady, deliberate cultural character that prizes neighborliness and a clear sense of place. Residents often gather for local seasonal events that celebrate the harvest and the community's shared history, bringing a vibrant energy to the quiet streets. While the town does not claim the fame of global icons, it values the quiet contributions of its citizens who build the schools and maintain the public squares. The architecture of the older districts speaks to a time when builders relied on local timber and the simple, honest geometry of the mid-south. Life in Arlington moves with the sun, from the crisp, cool air of early mornings to the long, still shadows that stretch across the porches as the day fades.

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.
