How to Use This Gleason, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Gleason emerges from the quiet, fertile expanse of West Tennessee, defined by the persistent, winding path of Morris Branch as it cuts through the local clay and silt. It lies 16.0 miles southeast of Martin, TN (from Martin, TN: bearing 124°T), and is situated 7.7 miles northwest of McKenzie. The landscape here is a study in horizontal patience, where the horizon stretches wide across flat fields and low, unassuming swells of earth that catch the amber light of late afternoon. High above the distant, hazy blue of Pea Ridge, the sky appears vast and unburdened, pressing down upon the dark, rich soil. Only three miles away, Middle Fork Obion Lake offers a still, reflective reprieve from the heat of the summer months, its surface rarely troubled by more than the passage of a local heron. The air carries the scent of damp earth and drying corn stalks, a quiet atmosphere that settles over the land with the weight of long, undisturbed seasons.

Gleason maintains a steady, agrarian pulse, its history written in the iron-red soil and the persistent labor of those who have farmed these acres for generations. The economy remains anchored to the output of the surrounding fields, a tradition that dictates the slow, deliberate pace of daily life as tractors trace methodical patterns across the landscape. While the bustle of larger centers remains a distant thought, the proximity of Mckenzie City Park provides a designated space for the community to gather, some seven miles away from the quiet center of the local grid. Beyond the immediate reach of town, the terrain dips toward the low, shadowed depressions of Ward Bottom, a reminder of the subtle, shifting contours that have long dictated the drainage and development of the region. Life in Gleason is marked by the quiet repetition of the calendar, where the changing colors of the crops provide the primary record of time’s passage.

About This Gleason Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gleason, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.213673, -88.612554. 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 Gleason includes the ZIP code (38229), telephone area code (901), county seat of Weakley County (Dresden), and school district assignment (Weakley 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.
