How to Use This Bulls Gap, Tennessee Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bulls Gap, 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 Bulls Gap.

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.

Bulls Gap occupies a natural transition point where the land begins to rise from the basin toward the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 12.0 miles east-northeast of Morristown, TN (from Morristown, TN: bearing 76°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west-northwest of Mosheim. Whitehorn Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the limestone-rich soil, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of an overcast sky as they move past the verdant, low-lying fields. Nearby, the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Huntsman Hollow, where the air holds a heavy, damp stillness during the humid summer months. The landscape here is defined by a slow, rhythmic progression of ridges and clearings, far removed from the clamor of wider thoroughfares, offering a quiet perspective on the rugged, landlocked interior of the state.

Bulls Gap grew from its strategic utility as a vital rail junction, a node of iron and steam that once dictated the movement of goods through this rugged corridor. While the frantic pulse of the steam era has long since faded into a quieter, more measured pace, the legacy of the tracks remains etched into the local identity, influencing the layout of the streets and the industrious character of those who live here. Residents often look toward the Lick Creek Bottoms Wildlife Management Area for a connection to the untamed wilderness, or perhaps toward the tranquil, isolated surface of Stanifer Pond when the day’s work concludes. Economic life here remains tethered to the land and the modest commerce that supports the surrounding farms, maintaining a steady, unadorned existence that values the permanence of the earth over the fleeting trends of more urban environments.

About This Bulls Gap Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bulls Gap, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.257041, -83.085997. 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 Bulls Gap includes the ZIP code (37711), telephone area code (865), county seat of Hawkins County (Rogersville), and school district assignment (Hawkins 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.
