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 holds a quiet gravity, defined by the deep, verdant canopy that blankets its undulating terrain. It lies 2.5 miles southwest of Johnson City, TN (from Johnson City, TN: bearing 216°T), and is situated 8.4 miles east-southeast of Washington. Sinking Creek carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its waters feeding the moisture that keeps the undergrowth lush and the shade dense even in the heat of a Tennessee afternoon. To the east, the silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains marks the distant horizon, a serrated edge against the pale, expansive sky. Nearby, the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Mahoney Hollow, while the pathways of Willow Springs Park offer a sanctuary of stillness where the light filters through the branches in soft, moss-colored shafts.

Forest Hills functions as a residential preserve, favoring an atmosphere of privacy and deliberate space where the pace of life slows to match the turning of the seasons. The local economy is defined by its stability and the thoughtful maintenance of its wooded acreage, reflecting a history of careful land stewardship rather than rapid industrial expansion. Residents often seek out the Pinnacle Tower Trail for a perspective that encompasses the broader reach of the region, grounding themselves in the physical reality of the land. Whether observing the stillness of Boone Lake or simply watching the shadows lengthen across a manicured lawn, there is a sense of continuity here, a recognition that the character of Forest Hills is built upon the preservation of its natural, inland peace.

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 Washington County (Jonesborough), 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.
