Explore Greenback, 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 Greenback, 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 Greenback.
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.

Greenback occupies a quiet expanse of Tennessee where the land swells into verdant, irregular folds of earth, softened by the persistent humidity of the humid subtropical climate. It lies 10.5 miles south-southeast of Lenoir City, TN (from Lenoir City, TN: bearing 153°T), and is situated 5.8 miles east-southeast of Tellico Village. Baker Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil just a mile from the center, its waters feeding the quiet cycle of growth that defines the surrounding meadows and woodlands. Far to the southeast, the Great Smoky Mountains haunt the horizon as a jagged, violet bruise against the sky, while the nearby basin of Negro Hollow cradles the shadows as evening approaches. The light here at dusk holds a heavy, golden quality, catching on the tall grasses and casting long, skeletal fingers of shade across the fields that stretch toward the vast, still surface of Tellico Lake.
Greenback maintains a tether to its agricultural heritage, moving with a deliberate pace that favors the steady labor of the farm over the frantic urgency of modern industry. The local economy remains deeply rooted in the cultivation of the land, supported by the proximity of the Tellico Lake Wildlife Management Area, which preserves the wilder edges of the landscape from the reach of development. History is less a written record here than a physical presence, felt in the slow decay of old timber and the persistence of family lines that have worked these slopes for generations. Life in Greenback unfolds with a quiet gravity, where the sound of wind moving through the trees often overrides the hum of distant traffic, creating a solitude that feels both ancient and entirely present.

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.
