How to Use This Hilham, Tennessee Map

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

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.

About Hilham, Tennessee

Hilham is a locality in Overton County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 338. The population density is 37.0 people per km². Hilham is located at 36.4142°N, 85.4416°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 38568.

Hilham defines its character through the constant, rhythmic presence of Buffalo Branch as the water carves a quiet path through the limestone-heavy soil of the Upper Cumberland plateau. It lies 11.2 miles west of Monroe, TN (from Monroe, TN: bearing 262°T), and is situated 6.9 miles west-northwest of Livingston. The landscape here is defined by deep, shadowed ravines and the broad, open stretches of agricultural land that rise toward the horizon, where the distant silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains suggests a vast, rugged wilderness beyond the immediate fields. Light in the late afternoon catches the tall, native grasses and the rough bark of hardwoods, casting long, lean shadows that emphasize the deliberate, slow-moving topography of the region. Only a mile away, the dense, managed canopy of Standing Stone State Forest offers a reprieve of deep shade and cool air, grounding the environment in a sense of permanence and measured growth that feels entirely distinct from the busier corridors to the west.

History in Hilham remains etched into the foundational patterns of rural commerce, where the legacy of early agrarian settlers continues to inform the way the land is worked and understood. The economy draws its strength from the cycles of the earth, as local livelihoods are tied to the patterns of the seasons and the management of timber and crop, mirroring the quiet persistence of the nearby Johnson Cove. Residents often look toward the expansive, still waters of Dale Hollow Lake for respite, recognizing the reservoir not merely as a resource, but as a defining feature that alters the humidity and the quality of the evening air. Life moves at a pace dictated by the sun and the soil, maintaining a social texture that values the independence of the individual while acknowledging the necessity of shared stewardship over the surrounding woods and winding waterways.

About This Hilham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hilham, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.414228, -85.441636. 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 Hilham includes the ZIP code (38568), telephone area code (423), county seat of Overton County (Livingston), and school district assignment (Overton 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.
