How to Use This Forest Hills, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Forest Hills emerges as a landscape of quiet, arboreal dignity where the land rises and falls in long, green swells that seem to hold the afternoon light in a lingering embrace. The earth here is heavy with the moisture of the region, feeding the dense, mature canopy that keeps the atmosphere cool even when the Tennessee sun grows insistent. Near the edge of the residential lanes, the rhythmic pulse of Spring Creek provides a constant, low-frequency hum, its waters navigating the limestone bedrock that underpins the entire terrain. While the horizon remains dominated by the soft, indistinct lines of the middle Tennessee plateau, the local topography is defined by the subtle, shadowed depressions of Gallows Hollow, which catch the mist as it settles during the transition from day to night.

Forest Hills maintains a character defined by its deliberate preservation of private space and the hushed, residential rhythm that defines its economy and social pace. The land was long ago shaped by the slow expansion of the capital city, yet it successfully retained a sense of seclusion, acting as a buffer between urban commerce and the wilder, limestone-rich terrain that reaches toward the entrance of Dunbar Cave. The history of the area is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring architecture of homes that sit back from the road, obscured by thickets and hardwoods. Life here moves with a certain gravity, focused on the maintenance of these wooded lots and the quiet passage of seasons, far from the bustle of industry, while the distant, calm waters of Harper Lake remain a remote curiosity for those who travel beyond the local canopy.

About This Forest Hills Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Forest Hills, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.069968, -86.83623. 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 Forest Hills includes the ZIP code (37215, 37160, 37604), telephone area code (731, 615, 629), county seat of Montgomery County (Clarksville), and school district assignment (Metropolitan Nashville Public 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.
