How to Use This Buena Vista, Tennessee Map

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.

About Buena Vista, Tennessee

Buena Vista is a locality in Carroll County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Buena Vista is located at 35.7368°N, 83.9860°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 37803, 38318.

Buena Vista occupies a quiet reach of the Tennessee landscape where the land settles into a series of modest, wooded rises and broad, open fields. It lies 18.2 miles northeast of Smith, TN (from Smith, TN: bearing 50°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east-southeast of Huntingdon. The air here holds a heavy, damp stillness, particularly in the late afternoon when the light thins and turns a pale, bruised gold against the horizon. Only a mile away, the quiet passage of Moore Creek carves a path through the earth, feeding the moisture that keeps the surrounding hardwoods lush and resilient. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain grows more rugged as it approaches the reaches of Natchez Trace State Forest, providing a dense, green buffer that defines the perimeter of the horizon.

Buena Vista remains a place defined by the slow, deliberate work of those who cultivate the soil and maintain the steady pulse of rural commerce. History here is found not in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of the local economy, which has long relied on the bounty of the surrounding timber and the productivity of the farmland. Residents often look toward the nearby Natchez Trace State Forest, a SRMA that serves as a constant reminder of the region’s commitment to preserving the wilder stretches of the state. Life in Buena Vista moves with a measured cadence, governed by the turning of the seasons and the simple necessity of keeping the land, and the people upon it, in balance.

About This Buena Vista Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buena Vista, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.73675, -83.986015. 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 Buena Vista includes the ZIP code (37803, 38318), telephone area code (865, 901), county seat of Carroll County (Huntingdon), and school district assignment.

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.
