Explore Dunlap, 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 Dunlap, 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 Dunlap.
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.

Dunlap occupies a quiet expanse of land where the steady flow of Coops Creek defines the immediate character of the terrain. It lies 14.6 miles northwest of Soddy Daisy, TN (from Soddy Daisy, TN: bearing 310°T), and is situated 18.3 miles north-northwest of Hixson. The landscape surrounding Dunlap shifts into the gentle folds of Price Hollow, a basin that catches the long, golden light of late afternoon. To the west, the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a soft, violet serration against the horizon, anchoring the wide sky. Those who walk the trails near John Griswold Recreation Park find a stillness that feels permanent, marked by the scent of damp earth and cooling stone. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially when the evening shadows stretch across the fields and the pace of the day begins to settle.
Coal mining and agriculture long provided the primary pulse for the people of Dunlap, shaping the sturdy, industrious nature of the residents. Early families cleared the timber and worked the seams of the earth, establishing a resilience that remains visible in the modest brick storefronts and the pride taken in local labor. While the heavy industry of the past has quieted, the economy now leans into a mix of small-scale manufacturing and service trades that sustain the daily needs of the region. Many residents continue to cultivate the fertile soil, honoring a tradition of self-reliance that requires patience and a deep knowledge of the changing seasons. Even the modest industrial sites carry a sense of purpose, reflecting a history of hard work that has not yet faded from the collective memory.
Dunlap sustains a quiet, deliberate culture where neighbors recognize one another by the distinct sound of a passing truck or a wave from a porch. The community gathers for local events that celebrate the harvest and the heritage of the valley, turning small public spaces into centers of conversation and shared meals. Travelers passing through might pause at the local landmarks, though the true spirit of the place is found in the way the light hits the ridges at dusk rather than in grand monuments. While the world beyond the hollows moves with increasing velocity, Dunlap retains a slower cadence that allows for long, thoughtful afternoons. There is a profound honesty in the way the people carry themselves, rooted in a landscape that demands little but offers a deep, enduring sense of belonging.

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.
