How to Use This Crockett, Tennessee Map

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

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 Crockett, Tennessee

Crockett is a locality in Obion County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of 28,648. The population density is 22.0 people per km². Crockett is located at 36.2981°N, 89.0428°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 38253, 38014.

Crockett occupies a quiet stretch of land where the horizon settles into a flat, steady line against the sky. It lies 4.2 miles east of Polk, TN (from Polk, TN: bearing 99°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south of Union City. The North Fork Obion River meanders just one mile away, its slow current carving a path through the dense, fertile sediment of the region. Only two miles distant, the still surface of Turner Lake reflects the changing light of the day, offering a calm anchor for the surrounding landscape. Further out, the distant silhouette of Hickory Ridge provides a jagged, blue-tinted reminder of the earth’s ancient shifts. The expansive Gooch Wildlife Management Area encompasses the immediate territory, serving as a sanctuary where the tall grasses sway in the heavy, humid air of the afternoon.

Crockett grew from the ambition of those who recognized the potential in the dark, nutrient-rich soil that defines this part of the state. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with vast fields of row crops dictating the seasonal rhythm of labor and harvest. Generations have worked these plains, transforming the wilderness into a landscape of organized, productive furrows that stretch toward the horizon. Even seven miles away, the low-lying expanse of Cypress Creek Bottom serves as a vital drainage basin, ensuring that the fields remain viable for the farmers who sustain the regional output. Prosperity here is measured in the yield of the land and the steady, unyielding work of those who tend to it.

Crockett carries a character forged in the silence of open fields and the enduring patience of a rural life. The pace of existence follows the sun, marked by the long shadows of dusk that stretch across the rural roads and quiet dwellings. While no singular landmark defines the identity of the people, the Gooch Wildlife Management Area acts as a communal touchstone for those who value the quietude of the natural world. Life here is not punctuated by grand spectacle, but by the subtle shifts in the weather and the reliable cycle of the seasons. It is a place where the air holds the scent of damp earth and the quiet persistence of a landscape that has long provided for its inhabitants.

About This Crockett Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Crockett, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.298122, -89.042844. 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 Crockett includes the ZIP code (38253, 38014), telephone area code (901), county seat of Obion County (Union City), 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.
