How to Use This Bransford, Tennessee Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bransford, 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 Bransford.
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 Bransford, Tennessee
Bransford is a locality in Sumner County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 166. The population density is 15.9 people per km². Bransford is located at 36.5133°N, 86.2853°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 37022.Bransford emerges from the landscape as a quiet assembly of earth and timber, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Bledsoe Creek as it carves a path through the terrain. It lies 9.7 miles northwest of Hartsville, TN (from Hartsville, TN: bearing 324°T), and is situated 4.2 miles south-southwest of Westmoreland. Sunlight filters through the canopy of the nearby Taylor Hollow Fee, casting long, amber shadows across the floor of Phillips Hollow, where the air holds a damp, cooling stillness even in the heat of midday. The ground here rises in modest, grassy swells that catch the late afternoon light, turning the pastures into fields of burnished gold before the evening mist gathers in the low-lying depressions.
Bransford carries the weight of a slow, agrarian history, rooted in the cultivation of the surrounding soil and the steady labor of those who have long worked the land. While the modern economy remains tethered to the quiet production of the countryside, the influence of the distant Appalachian Mountains lingers in the blue haze that occasionally softens the horizon on clear, crisp mornings. Life in Bransford moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, finding its character in the simple endurance of the farmsteads and the undisturbed quiet of the woods. The proximity of Barren River Lake provides a distant, shimmering anchor for the regional landscape, though the daily life of the locality remains firmly fixed to the rhythms of the creek and the harvest.

About This Bransford Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bransford, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.513296, -86.285261. 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 Bransford includes the ZIP code (37022), telephone area code (615, 629), county seat of Sumner County (Gallatin), and school district assignment (Sumner 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.
