Explore Hixson, 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 Hixson, 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 Hixson.
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.

Hixson unfolds across a landscape defined by the persistent flow of North Chickamauga Creek, which carves a quiet path through the local terrain. It lies 4.0 miles east-northeast of Red Bank, TN (from Red Bank, TN: bearing 61°T), and is situated 7.9 miles north-northeast of Chattanooga. The land here carries the soft weight of inland permanence, where the air holds the cooling influence of nearby greenery. Only a few miles away, the waters of Dallas Lake reflect the shifting light of the afternoon, providing a calm anchor for the surrounding geography. Beyond the immediate canopy, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the eastern horizon, grounding the view in ancient, stable earth. The North Chickamauga Creek Wildlife Management Area offers a protected sanctuary for the region’s flora, preserving the wild character of the land just outside the reach of modern development.
Hixson grew from a quiet intersection of rural paths into a suburban center that balances modern commerce with its deep-rooted agricultural ancestry. The local economy thrives on a diverse network of retail and small-scale industries that support the daily needs of those living along the corridors of the valley. While the labor of early settlers once shaped the fields and woods, the current rhythm of the area is defined by the steady movement of residents toward the professional opportunities found in larger centers. A short distance away, the terrain near Pine Hollow serves as a reminder of the geography that dictated the original settlement patterns of the region. Even as the pace of life accelerates, the economic spirit of Hixson remains tied to the practical, hard-working nature of its foundational years.
Hixson maintains a cultural character defined by a neighborly reserve and a collective appreciation for the natural splendor of the surrounding countryside. Residents often seek out the beauty of Falling Water Falls, where the descent of the stream creates a singular, meditative sound that cuts through the stillness of the woods. For those looking to explore the deeper wilderness, the trails within the nearby Prentice Cooper State Forest offer a rugged perspective on the scale of the Tennessee landscape. While the area is modest in its public displays, it has fostered individuals of note, such as the athlete Reggie White, who left an indelible mark on the sporting world. The community gathers for local events that celebrate this shared identity, ensuring that the spirit of Hixson remains distinct despite the quiet, unassuming nature of its daily life.

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.
