Explore Fairfield, 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 Fairfield, 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 Fairfield.
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.

Fairfield emerges from the landscape as a quiet intersection of earth and water, defined by the persistent, silver ribbon of Richland Creek that carves its path through the lower acreage. It lies 1.2 miles east-northeast of Greeneville, TN (from Greeneville, TN: bearing 59°T), and is situated 2.6 miles north of Greene. The air here holds a particular weight, clarified by the proximity of Grassy Valley, where the morning light settles in long, pale shafts against the timber. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the limit of the horizon, providing a rugged counterpoint to the immediate, gentle incline of the fields. A short distance away, the quiet surface of Kidwell Pond reflects the shifting clouds, while the nearby grounds of Dogwood Park offer a sanctuary of shaded groves that seem to breathe with the seasonal pulse of the local woodland.
Fairfield sustains a modest rhythm tied to the land, its economy rooted in the legacy of small-scale agriculture and the steady, unassuming labor that has defined these plains for generations. The legacy of those who first cleared these woods remains visible in the orderly patterns of the fences and the enduring stone foundations that linger in the tall grass. A certain contemplative solitude permeates the area, perhaps influenced by the proximity of the Trail of the Lonesome Pine, which invites a slower pace of life for those who wander its path. Whether through the seasonal harvests or the quiet maintenance of local commerce, the people of Fairfield carry forward an identity forged in the stillness of the interior, favoring the steady work of the soil over the clamor of a more hurried world.

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.
