Explore Gordonsville, 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 Gordonsville, 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 Gordonsville.
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.

Gordonsville stretches across the gentle, undulating limestone landscape of Middle Tennessee, where the morning light catches the dew on expansive pastures and hardwood groves. It lies 15.4 miles north-northwest of DeKalb, TN (from DeKalb, TN: bearing 334°T), and is situated 5.0 miles south-southeast of South Carthage. The air here carries a crisp, earthen stillness, undisturbed by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the eastern horizon. Nearby, the quiet waters of Agee Branch carve a modest path through the fields, while the deeper basin of Trousdale Hollow holds the cool shadows of the afternoon. Beyond the immediate meadows, the surface of Jersey Miniery Zinc Company Lake reflects the shifting colors of the sky, providing a serene counterpoint to the busy, rhythmic industry that pulses through the corridors of the Smith County Soccer Complex.
Gordonsville emerged as a crossroads for travelers and farmers, its character shaped by the steady labor of those who worked the rich, fertile soil of this inland region. The economy has long been defined by this agricultural foundation, though it now blends with a diverse range of local enterprise that keeps the pace of life measured and deliberate. Families gather on weekends near the recreational fields, and the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest continues to dictate the quiet flow of the days. There is a profound sense of permanence in the way the architecture hugs the roadside, a pragmatic construction that honors the long, slow history of a settlement built on the strength of its own people and the resilience of its land.

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.
