How to Use This Coalfield, Tennessee Map

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

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 Coalfield, Tennessee

Coalfield is a locality in Morgan County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,361. The population density is 36.9 people per km². Coalfield is located at 36.0228°N, 84.4425°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 37840, 37719.

Coalfield anchors itself firmly in the rugged topography of the Cumberland Plateau, where the earth seems to hold the weight of deep, geological time in its silent, layered strata. It lies 8.5 miles west of Oak Ridge, TN (from Oak Ridge, TN: bearing 279°T), and is situated 9.9 miles northeast of Harriman. Davis Branch carves a narrow, persistent path through the landscape, its waters cutting through the heavy soil of Adcock Hollow as the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Cumberland Mountains. The light here filters through the canopy in thin, slanted shafts, illuminating the dense undergrowth that stretches toward the protected wild expanses of Frozen Head. This is a land of hard shadows and quiet, persistent growth, where the humidity clings to the ridges and the air carries the faint, metallic scent of the earth, suggesting a world that operates on its own deliberate, internal clock.

Coalfield bears the distinct marks of an industrial heritage, its character defined by the coal seams that once dictated the rhythms of labor and the architecture of the surrounding settlements. Though the primary extraction has long since receded, the legacy remains in the quiet, sturdy dwellings and the slow, methodical pace of life that persists in the shadow of the hills. The influence of the nearby Morgan State Forest and the recreational pull of Frozen Head offer a modern counterpoint to the town’s origins, drawing those who find solace in the deep woods and the stillness of the plateau. Residents often look toward the distant, shimmering surface of Whiteoak Lake as a place of respite, maintaining a connection to the land that is both practical and inherited, honoring a history built on the stubborn persistence of those who first broke this ground.

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.
