How to Use This Big Rock, Tennessee Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Big Rock, 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 Big Rock.
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 Big Rock, Tennessee
Big Rock is a locality in Stewart County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 291. The population density is 65.3 people per km². Big Rock is located at 36.5806°N, 87.7600°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 37023.Big Rock holds a quiet permanence within the folding landscape of Middle Tennessee, defined by the persistent, winding path of Dyers Creek as it cuts through the earth. It lies 18.5 miles north-northeast of Stewart, TN (from Stewart, TN: bearing 14°T), and is situated 16.7 miles west-southwest of Fort Campbell North. The terrain rises and falls with a measured cadence, leading the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Walker Ridge. To the west, the land softens into the low-lying reaches of Joiner Hollow, where the shadows gather early in the evening and the damp, fertile soil smells of turning leaves and cooling stone. The light here at dusk possesses a singular clarity, sharpening the edges of the hardwoods and casting long, amber reflections across the surface of the nearby Lake Barkley.
Big Rock maintains a steady, agrarian pulse that has long outlasted the shifts of regional industry. While the local economy remains rooted in the rhythm of the fields, the presence of the Cross Creeks National Wildlife Refuge serves as a vital anchor for the surrounding ecosystem, protecting the migratory paths that have crossed these bottomlands for centuries. Residents here move with the unforced habits of those who understand the temperament of the seasons, often traveling toward the Stewart State Forest for timber or solitude. History in Big Rock is not found in monuments, but in the way the fences follow the natural contours of the slopes and the way the quiet of the morning remains undisturbed by the modern world.

About This Big Rock Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Big Rock, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.580605, -87.760019. 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 Big Rock includes the ZIP code (37023), telephone area code (615, 629), county seat of Stewart County (Dover), and school district assignment (Stewart County School District).
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.
