Explore Atwood, 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 Atwood, 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 Atwood.
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.

Atwood asserts its presence across the quiet, fertile expanse of West Tennessee, where the land stretches into broad, unassuming fields that drink in the heavy, golden light of late afternoon. It lies 13.7 miles northwest of Smith, TN (from Smith, TN: bearing 326°T), and is situated 5.8 miles northeast of Milan. Beyond the immediate reach of the modest houses and the steady pulse of local roads, the earth yields to the subtle drainage of DeMoss Creek, which carves a modest path through the soil only a mile from the center. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, though the distant silhouette of Pea Ridge hangs like a faint, serrated bruise against the western sky, twenty-one miles away. Those seeking the quietude of the wild find their refuge five miles out at Harts Mill Wildlife Management Area, where the undergrowth thrives in a tangle of native green, and the air carries the scent of damp loam and cooling vegetation.
Atwood maintains a rhythm dictated by the changing seasons of the soil, grounded in an economy that has long looked to the surrounding acreage for its purpose. The local character is defined by a slow, deliberate persistence, a lingering echo of the agrarian traditions that first anchored families to these plains. Days here pass with a focus on the tangible—the maintenance of property, the local commerce that keeps the streets viable, and the occasional excursion toward the still, reflective surface of Luckey Lake just two miles distant. Life in Atwood moves with the gravity of a place that understands its own boundaries, finding a steady, quiet beauty in the repetitive cycle of planting and harvest that has defined this stretch of the state for generations.

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.
