How to Use This Hornbeak, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Hornbeak occupies a quiet expanse of the Mississippi embayment where the horizon stretches wide and flat, defined by the seasonal pulse of the surrounding agricultural plains. It lies 10.1 miles west of Polk, TN (from Polk, TN: bearing 279°T), and is situated 14.3 miles west of Crockett. The air here holds a heavy, fertile stillness, carrying the scent of damp earth and the subtle, metallic tang of North Branch Pawpaw Creek, which winds its way through the nearby fields. To the west, the landscape deepens into the protected wilderness of Reelfoot, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Hickory Ridge provides a jagged anchor to the otherwise level topography. The light at dusk settles over the fields in long, amber sheets, turning the dust of the backroads into a fine, glowing gold that lingers until the sky turns a deep, bruised violet.

Hornbeak persists as a testament to the endurance of the agrarian life, rooted in the dark, alluvial soil that has sustained generations of families through cycles of cotton and soybean harvests. The rhythm of the days is measured not by the clock, but by the slow movement of machinery across the horizon and the occasional, sharp call of birds rising from the nearby marshes of Glady Hollow. Beyond the immediate reach of the cultivated rows, the presence of Luker Lake creates a small, reflective stillness in the landscape, a place where the water mirrors the shifting cloud formations. Life here remains tethered to the land, an existence defined by the quiet labor of the harvest and the deep, abiding patience of those who watch the seasons turn over the flat, expansive fields.

About This Hornbeak Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hornbeak, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.331178, -89.29646. 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 Hornbeak includes the ZIP code (38232), telephone area code (901), county seat of Obion County (Union City), and school district assignment (Obion 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.
