Explore Gatlinburg, 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 Gatlinburg, 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 Gatlinburg.
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.

Gatlinburg rises where the West Prong Little Pigeon River carves a restless, crystalline path through a deep and narrow basin. It lies 7.8 miles south of Sevier, TN (from Sevier, TN: bearing 181°T), and is situated 5.7 miles south-southeast of Pigeon Forge. The air here holds the damp, cool weight of the Great Smoky Mountains, which loom ten miles distant like a bruised, indigo wall against the sky. From the rugged heights of the Cove Mountain Trail, the land drops away into the shadowed depth of Jack Hollow, where the light thickens into a pale, translucent gray at the approach of dusk. The terrain is defined by this verticality, a place where the earth is constantly straining upward, draped in a dense, tangled forest that shivers under the persistent, low-hanging mist.
Gatlinburg emerged from the isolation of the frontier, shifting from a quiet settlement of homesteaders to a kinetic center of commerce sustained by the movement of travelers. The economy thrives on the threshold of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, serving as the primary gate for those seeking the solitude of the ancient timber and the cascading water of Grotto Falls. While the modern storefronts hum with the industrious energy of tourism, there remains a lingering, austere silence just beyond the pavement, a reminder of the generations who first cleared the rocky soil. Even the distant, quiet surface of Waters Estate Lake seems a world away from the bright, crowded pulse that defines the daily passage of life in Gatlinburg.

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.
