Explore Hohenwald, 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 Hohenwald, 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 Hohenwald.
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.

Hohenwald sits upon the high ground of the Highland Rim, a plateau where the horizon remains wide and the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the canopy. It lies 4.6 miles northwest of Lewis, TN (from Lewis, TN: bearing 321°T), and is situated 10.1 miles northeast of Ashland. The terrain here is defined by deep, quiet folds in the earth, most notably Booker Hollow, which carves a gentle shadow into the landscape only two miles from the center. A few miles to the west, the dense, quiet timber of Lewis State Forest stretches across the soil, while the nearby East Fork Cane Creek sustains the subtle moisture of the woods. Seven miles away, the silhouette of Rabbitt Knob rises as a solitary marker against the sky, grounding the view in a geography that feels both ancient and persistent. The air here holds a distinct crispness, a clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the hardwoods and deepen the stillness that gathers in the hollows.
Hohenwald carries the legacy of its Swiss-German founders, whose influence remains etched into the naming of the streets and the deliberate, measured pace of local life. While the economy has shifted from its early timber and agricultural roots, the rhythm of work remains tied to the land, with residents moving through the day with a gravity that honors the past. Memorial Park serves as the public square for these everyday motions, a space where the community gathers under the shade of mature trees. For those seeking the water, the quiet surface of Laurel Hill Lake provides a reflective respite from the demands of the clock. Hohenwald retains a character defined by this intersection of industry and quietude, where the sound of a distant engine on the highway serves as the only reminder of a world moving faster than the woods themselves.

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.
