How to Use This Gallaway, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Gallaway emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of West Tennessee as a quiet intersection of open fields and sudden, dense pockets of woodland. It lies 3.3 miles northeast of Arlington, TN (from Arlington, TN: bearing 51°T), and is situated 9.6 miles northeast of Lakeland. Cane Creek carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its slow, dark water pulling the eye toward the horizon where the land flattens into an endless, agricultural stretch. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness during the summer months, a weight that seems to thicken as the afternoon sun catches the dust rising from unpaved shoulders. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain remains largely level, though the distant silhouette of The Mountain serves as a faint, jagged reminder of the more rugged topography defining the state’s eastern reaches.

Gallaway retains the character of a place built upon the steady cycles of the soil, where the economy has long favored the patient labor of the harvest over the frantic pace of manufacturing. The influence of nearby Forrest Park offers a sanctuary of preserved timber and quiet trails, providing a stark contrast to the worked earth that dominates the surrounding acreage. History here is marked less by grand monuments and more by the enduring presence of long-settled farmsteads and the slow reclamation of the land near Cypress Bottom, where the ground remains soft and temperamental. Life in Gallaway moves with the measured cadence of the seasons, a persistent, rhythmic existence grounded in the stubborn, dark loam that defines the character of the region.

About This Gallaway Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gallaway, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.325919, -89.61619. 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 Gallaway includes the ZIP code (38036), telephone area code (901), county seat of Fayette County (Somerville), and school district assignment (Fayette 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.
