Explore Bumpus Mills, 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 Bumpus Mills, 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.

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 Bumpus Mills.
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.

Bumpus Mills maintains a quiet, deliberate presence where the silver current of Saline Creek marks the rhythm of the landscape. It lies 19.6 miles north of Stewart, TN (from Stewart, TN: bearing 1°T), and is situated 18.6 miles west-northwest of Woodlawn. The land here carries the weight of deep, inland silence, defined by the low, steady rise of Walker Ridge in the distance and the encroaching shadow of Wall Hollow. Sunlight catches the surface of Lake Barkley just a mile away, turning the water into a sheet of polished pewter that reflects the heavy, humid sky. Trees here do not rush; they stand in patient, gnarled clusters, their roots drinking from the dark earth while the air remains thick with the scent of damp soil and drying hay.
Bumpus Mills occupies a space defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of the Barkley Recreation Area, which draws those seeking a reprieve from the faster world outside. The economy has long been tethered to the land and the water, a legacy of the mills that once ground grain for the scattered farms of this region. Though the gears of industry have shifted, the character of the place remains anchored in the remnants of its trade and the persistence of its people. Life moves with the deliberate pace of a long afternoon, where the occasional vehicle passing toward the horizon serves as the only punctuation in a day otherwise composed of wind through the brush and the steady, unhurried flow of the creek.

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.
