Explore Friendsville, 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 Friendsville, 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 Friendsville.
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.

Friendsville unfurls across a landscape of quiet, agrarian patience, defined by the persistent, low-slung curves of Gallagher Creek as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 7.2 miles east-southeast of Lenoir City, TN (from Lenoir City, TN: bearing 111°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west of Maryville. The horizon toward the east holds the faint, bruised silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, a reminder of the rugged elevation that defines the wider regional character. Nearer to the center of the landscape, the terrain dips into the quiet shade of Dunlap Hollow, where the light thickens in the late afternoon, casting long, ochre shadows across the pastures. The proximity to Fort Loudoun Lake lends the air a consistent, cool moisture, keeping the soil dark and the vegetation lush, even as the summer sun bakes the open fields into a dusty, golden haze.
Friendsville maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects its origins as a settlement established by Quaker families who sought a tranquil life in these fertile basins. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, shifting from the traditional agricultural rhythms that once dominated the valley to a modern, cautious development that respects the surrounding woodlands. Residents often congregate near the Poland Creek Recreation Area, where the water’s edge provides a communal space for reflection far removed from the frantic noise of larger urban centers. The life of the locality is marked by the slow turning of seasons, a continuity that honors the past while the quiet, steady flow of the local creeks continues to shape the physical boundaries of the day-to-day.

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.
