How to Use This Celina, Tennessee Map

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

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 Celina, Tennessee

Celina is a locality in Clay County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,422. The population density is 297.9 people per km². Celina is located at 36.5501°N, 85.5052°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Celina is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 38551.

Celina anchors itself where the Obey River carves a deliberate path through the limestone bedrock, creating a landscape defined by sharp, verdant bluffs and deep, sheltered hollows. It lies 16.6 miles west-northwest of Monroe, TN (from Monroe, TN: bearing 298°T), and is situated 3.4 miles east-southeast of Clay. The morning light often clings to the valley floor, illuminating the moisture trapped in the low-lying terrain of Stones Bottom before the sun finally clears the jagged horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the earth rises into the rugged, forested topography that serves as a terrestrial preamble to the distant Cumberland Mountains, which loom like a hazy, blue-gray suggestion against the eastern sky. The air here holds a distinct, heavy coolness, filtered through the thick canopy of hardwoods that climb the steep inclines, grounding Celina in a quiet, geological permanence.

Economic life in Celina remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of the landscape, long influenced by the proximity of Dale Hollow Lake and the abundant natural resources of the region. Residents often find their days shaped by the Cordell Hull Recreation Area, a space that preserves the local wilderness and encourages a steady, observant pace of living. Historically, the confluence of waterways dictated the patterns of settlement, favoring those who could harness the timber and fertile soil of the valley. Today, the character of Celina manifests in a patient, deliberate endurance, where the passing seasons are marked not by urban commotion, but by the subtle shifting of shadows across the river and the persistent, unhurried flow of the Obey River toward its destination.

About This Celina Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Celina, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.550061, -85.505247. 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 Celina includes the ZIP code (38551), telephone area code (423), county seat of Clay County (Celina), and school district assignment (Clay 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.
