Explore Bradford, 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 Bradford, 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 Bradford.
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.

Bradford occupies a wide, quiet expanse of West Tennessee where the horizon stays low and the earth leans toward the heavy, dark richness of agricultural plains. It lies 6.5 miles east-northeast of Haywood, TN (from Haywood, TN: bearing 77°T), and is situated 6.2 miles north-northeast of Brownsville. The light here at dusk settles flat across the fields, turning the dusty stubble of harvest into a muted, copper-colored blur that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the distant, hazy shadow of Horns Bluff. A few miles to the east, the quiet, slow-moving water of Jacocks Creek cuts through the silt, providing a thin, shaded vein of moisture that feeds the surrounding timber and wild grasses. To the north, the landscape gains a subtle density as it approaches the protected woodlands of Fort Ridge Wildlife Management Area, where the air grows cooler and the trees stand in tangled, undisturbed rows.
Bradford draws its steady pulse from the rhythm of the soil and the legacy of the small-scale farmers who first turned this ground. The local economy remains tied to the cycles of planting and harvest, a tradition that gives the streets a deliberate, measured pace reflected in the brick-fronted buildings and the quiet intersections. Just four miles away, the still surface of Holt Lake mirrors the changing sky, offering a place where the workday ends in the simple, metallic click of a fishing reel or the quiet observation of water birds. Life in Bradford moves with a grounded familiarity, favoring the weight of long-standing connections over the frantic pace of the cities, as if the inhabitants understand that the most essential things are found in the persistent, honest work of the land.

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.
