How to Use This Henning, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Henning occupies a quiet reach of the West Tennessee landscape where the earth settles into a long, fertile flatness that seems to hold the heat of the afternoon sun well into the cooling evening. It lies 9.2 miles south-southeast of Lauderdale, TN (from Lauderdale, TN: bearing 147°T), and is situated 8.6 miles north-northeast of Covington. The horizon remains unbroken by the jagged peaks of Sandy Ridge, which loom far to the east as a mere suggestion of shadow against the pale, bruised violet of the sky. Nearby, the hushed waters of Campground Creek trace a slow, meandering path through the earth, while the dense, protected canopy of the Lower Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary for the local flora just a mile away. The air here carries a weight of damp soil and drying stalks, a stillness that gathers around the edges of Ried Dunavant Lake, where the water reflects the sky with a clarity that renders the world doubled and serene.

Henning grew from the rhythms of the agricultural soil, its economy forever tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest that define the character of this region. The architecture of the streets echoes a time when the railroad dictated the pulse of commerce, leaving behind a legacy of sturdy brick and wooden porches where the pace of life remains deliberate and unforced. It is the birthplace of Alex Haley, whose presence continues to shape the cultural memory of the site, grounding the identity of Henning in the deep, complex narratives of the American experience. Life here moves with a quiet, persistent gravity, shaped by the shared work of the fields and the enduring influence of the generations who have looked out over these same plains, finding beauty in the simple persistence of the land.

About This Henning Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Henning, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.68457, -89.574329. 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 Henning includes the ZIP code (38041, 38063), telephone area code (901), county seat of Lauderdale County (Ripley), and school district assignment (Lauderdale 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.
