How to Use This Flat Top Mountain, Tennessee Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Flat Top Mountain, 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 Flat Top Mountain.
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 Flat Top Mountain, Tennessee
Flat Top Mountain is a locality in Hamilton County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 561. The population density is 12.5 people per km². Flat Top Mountain is located at 35.3319°N, 85.2000°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 37379.Flat Top Mountain rises as a rugged plateau, its crown defined by weathered sandstone outcrops and a dense canopy of hardwoods that catch the amber light of late afternoon. It lies 7.2 miles north of Soddy Daisy, TN (from Soddy Daisy, TN: bearing 4°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north of Soddy-Daisy. Deep fissures in the earth mark the proximity of Board Camp Gulf, where shadows pool in the humid, cooling air of the descent, while the nearby Cumberland Trail offers a quiet, unpaved passage through the dense undergrowth. The terrain here is defined by a verticality that defies the gentle slopes of the western plains, forcing the wind to whistle through the crags and thinning the atmosphere into a crisp, sharp clarity. High above the distant, pale horizon where the Cumberland Mountains trace a faint, jagged line against the sky, the air carries the scent of damp pine needles and the silent, heavy weight of long-standing stone.
Flat Top Mountain maintains a legacy forged by those who sought harvest and shelter within the high, isolated timberlands, relying on the land’s stubborn yield to sustain their modest homesteads. Economic life has long mirrored the rhythm of the seasons, shifting from small-scale timber extraction to the steady, patient work of those who tend to the plateau’s stubborn soil. A short distance away, the waters of Board Camp Creek provide a constant, low-frequency pulse to the surrounding silence, while the proximity of Dallas Lake serves as a reflective expanse for the heavy, gray clouds that frequently mantle the peaks. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place turned inward, where the collective memory of the residents is as deeply layered as the strata beneath their feet, marking the passage of time not by the clock, but by the gradual change in the color of the forest leaves.

About This Flat Top Mountain Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Flat Top Mountain, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.331901, -85.200046. 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 Flat Top Mountain includes the ZIP code (37379), telephone area code (615), county seat of Hamilton County (Chattanooga), and school district assignment (Hamilton 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.
