Explore Crossville, 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 Crossville, 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 Crossville.
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.

Crossville serves as a sturdy anchor upon the high plateau, defined by the quiet persistence of the Town Branch as it winds its way through the local terrain. It lies 3.4 miles north of Cumberland, TN (from Cumberland, TN: bearing 357°T), and is situated 8.6 miles west-southwest of Fairfield Glade. The landscape surrounding Crossville is marked by an expansive, elevated topography that feels distinct from the lower basins, with the distant Cumberland Mountains providing a soft, blue-hued silhouette against the western horizon. Residents often find solace in the nearby Centennial Park, where the afternoon light filters through the canopy in a way that turns the common grass a deep, burnished emerald. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the terrain dips toward the gentle depression of Coon Hollow, creating a rhythmic variation in the earth’s surface. Only a short distance away, the waters of Lake Holiday offer a reflective stillness that balances the brisk activity of the surrounding woodland.
Settlement in Crossville grew from the rugged necessities of the plateau, where the soil and timber dictated the early patterns of labor and trade. The local economy has long been shaped by a blend of manufacturing and agriculture, drawing upon the resilience of those who saw potential in the rocky, upland earth. Over the decades, the industry evolved to include the production of varied goods, ensuring that Crossville remained a functional center for the surrounding inhabitants. While the rhythm of work is steady, there remains a deep appreciation for the craft and manual skill that built the foundations of the local marketplace. The legacy of these industries persists in the solid construction of the older buildings, which stand as quiet evidence of a long-standing commitment to self-reliance.
Cultural life in Crossville is defined by a deliberate pace that allows for the preservation of local customs and a neighborly regard for the passing seasons. Residents occasionally venture toward the outskirts to enjoy the quietude of Bledsoe State Forest, finding a sense of scale in the vast, wooded tracts that define the regional character. The area has been shaped by the presence of notable figures like the songwriter Dottie West, whose roots in this region helped color the musical heritage of the broader Tennessee landscape. Public gatherings and seasonal events often center around the shared identity of the people, fostering a social fabric that values tradition over the frantic speed of modern life. Even as the years go by, the atmosphere maintains a certain clarity, reflecting the honest and unpretentious nature of the individuals who call this plateau their own.

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.
