Explore Buena Vista, 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 Buena Vista, 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 Buena Vista.
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.

Buena Vista reveals itself through a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Pistol Creek as it carves a path through the Tennessee terrain. It lies 1.6 miles south-southwest of Maryville, TN (from Maryville, TN: bearing 213°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west-northwest of Blount. The rhythmic pulse of the water dictates the character of the soil, encouraging a lush, verdant growth that spreads toward the horizon where the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally sharpen against a fading sky. Within the immediate boundaries, Pearson Springs Park provides an open expanse where the quality of light at dusk softens the edges of the woodland, casting long, amber shadows that linger over the damp earth. Five miles to the east, the basin of Long Hollow creates a subtle shift in the elevation, while the waters of Fort Loudoun Lake wait in the periphery, exerting a quiet influence on the humidity that hangs in the air during the height of the summer.
Buena Vista maintains a deliberate pace, grounded in a history of agrarian labor that continues to shape the local economy and the way residents attend to their land. The legacy of those who first settled here remains evident in the careful stewardship of the fields, where the transition from dawn to noon is marked by the steady hum of machinery and the movement of seasonal crops. For those seeking the solitude of the woods, the Little Bottoms Trail offers a route through the surrounding timber, serving as a reminder of the vast, uninterrupted stretches of wilderness that define this part of the state. Life here possesses a heavy, grounded quality, where the primary concerns are the cycle of the harvest and the maintenance of the quiet, winding roads that connect Buena Vista to the wider pulse of the region.

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.
