How to Use This Cross Plains, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Cross Plains occupies a quiet expanse of the Highland Rim where the land flattens into expansive, fertile fields before dipping into the shadows of Chote Hollow. It lies 6.0 miles north-northwest of White House, TN (from White House, TN: bearing 335°T), and is situated 12.1 miles west-northwest of Sumner. The morning light here is thin and pale, filtering through a canopy of hardwoods that stand guard over the soil, while the waters of Honey Run carve a narrow, silver path through the limestone bedrock just a short distance away. Beyond the immediate pastures, the horizon remains unobstructed, save for the faint, hazy suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains lingering far to the east like a memory of rising stone. The atmosphere carries the scent of damp earth and late-season hay, a sensory stillness that defines the rugged, unpretentious character of the landscape.

Agriculture has always dictated the pulse of Cross Plains, anchoring the local economy in the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that have persisted for generations. Residents move through their days with a steady, deliberate pace, often passing through Unknown Park to find a moment of reprieve among the quiet groves and open spaces. While the modern world presses in from the surrounding counties, life here remains tethered to the rhythms of the land and the modest commerce of a rural crossroads. The proximity of Phillip Bradshaw Lake offers a singular, reflective stillness to the geography, anchoring the region in a landscape that values the gravity of the soil and the quiet endurance of its people.

About This Cross Plains Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cross Plains, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.541247, -86.676636. 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 Cross Plains includes the ZIP code (37049), telephone area code (615, 629), county seat of Robertson County (Springfield), and school district assignment (Robertson 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.
