How to Use This Flatwoods, Tennessee Map

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

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 Flatwoods, Tennessee

Flatwoods is a locality in Lawrence County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Flatwoods is located at 35.3006°N, 87.3506°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 38464, 38558.

Flatwoods occupies a modest stretch of land where the earth rises into the quiet, wooded swells of the interior landscape. It lies 4.1 miles north-northwest of Lawrenceburg, TN (from Lawrenceburg, TN: bearing 348°T), and is situated 9.5 miles west-northwest of Weakley. Crawfish Creek winds its way through the terrain, its narrow, persistent path carving a channel through the soil that dictates the local drainage and the verdant growth of the underbrush. In the distance, the silhouette of Wildcat Ridge marks the horizon, a firm reminder of the geological boundary that keeps this place anchored in the deep, landlocked interior. The light here settles heavily in the late afternoon, catching the moisture that gathers in Fourmile Hollow and casting long, muted shadows across the fields.

Flatwoods maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding woodland and the quiet rhythms of local agriculture. Residents often look toward the nearby David Crockett park for recreation, a space that preserves the quietude of the Tennessee backcountry far from the reach of the larger, more bustling centers. While the local economy remains tied to the land and the small-scale commerce that sustains such quiet corners, the presence of David Crockett Lake provides a stillness to the environment that defines the local character. Beyond the reach of major thoroughfares, the geography remains stubbornly itself, punctuated by the occasional distant sound of running water or the shifting of trees on the slopes of the ridge, offering a sense of stability that has persisted for generations.

About This Flatwoods Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Flatwoods, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.300635, -87.350572. 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 Flatwoods includes the ZIP code (38464, 38558), telephone area code (901, 423), county seat of Lawrence County (Lawrenceburg), and school district assignment.

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.
