Explore Hendersonville, 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 Hendersonville, 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 Hendersonville.
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.

Hendersonville defines the character of its landscape through the persistent, winding presence of Drakes Creek, which carves a path through the gentle rise and fall of the Middle Tennessee terrain. It lies 3.5 miles north-northeast of Old Hickory, TN (from Old Hickory, TN: bearing 26°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northwest of Mount Juliet. The light here at dusk possesses a singular quality, catching the limestone dust and turning the evening sky a bruised, heavy violet that hangs low over the fields. While the distant Appalachian Mountains loom only as a faint, serrated suggestion on the eastern horizon, the immediate earth is defined by fertile soil and dense, deciduous woodlands. Residents live with the quiet, persistent awareness of the land’s slope, particularly as they move toward the verdant expanse of the Old Hickory Recreation Area, where the air grows cooler and carries the scent of damp earth and deep-rooted timber.
Settlers arrived in the region drawn by the promise of the fertile bottomlands, establishing roots that would eventually grow into the sprawling development seen today. Early life in Hendersonville revolved around the rhythms of agrarian labor, with homesteads positioned to capitalize on the natural irrigation provided by the local waterways. Over the generations, the primitive dirt paths evolved into established corridors of commerce, yet the original spirit of the settlement remains visible in the way the older, weathered structures stand in quiet contrast to modern construction. The history of Hendersonville is not merely a record of expansion but a slow, deliberate accumulation of families who chose to build their lives in the shadow of these broad, ancient river bends.
Economic life in Hendersonville thrives on a foundation of diverse service industries, retail hubs, and a steady influx of professionals commuting to the nearby regional center. Infrastructure has expanded to accommodate the growth, with arterial roads connecting residential neighborhoods to the primary commercial corridors that facilitate the daily movement of labor and goods. While no major universities occupy the immediate municipal footprint, the populace remains highly engaged with the academic and research institutions located in the surrounding counties. The local economy maintains a stable, industrious pace, relying on a blend of small-scale enterprise and the broader regional networks that characterize the economic health of this interior landscape.
Cultural expression in Hendersonville is marked by a deep appreciation for the arts and a quiet, steadfast commitment to community gatherings throughout the changing seasons. Major annual festivals draw residents into the open air, where the focus remains on local music and the shared heritage of the region, echoing the cultural output of the broader Tennessee landscape. The Old Hickory Recreation Area serves as a primary hub for outdoor leisure, providing space for those who seek the solitude of the woods or the activity of the trails. While the town has seen its share of prominent figures in the music and entertainment industry take up residence, the true character of Hendersonville is found in the everyday interactions of its people and the enduring, unpretentious beauty of the land itself, far removed from the clamor of the coast.

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.
