Explore Hornsby, 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 Hornsby, 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 Hornsby.
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.

Hornsby sits upon a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Wade Creek, which carves a path through the low, verdant terrain of western Tennessee. It lies 6.8 miles west-southwest of Robertson, TN (from Robertson, TN: bearing 247°T), and is situated 9.2 miles east-southeast of Bolivar. Beyond the immediate banks, the earth rises and falls in long, measured swells, eventually giving way to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Hatchie Hills on the far horizon. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and dense thickets, particularly toward the nearby Chickasaw State Forest, where the canopy thickens into a heavy, unbroken shade. During the late afternoon, the light settles horizontally across the fields, turning the grasses to a pale copper and casting long, thin shadows that stretch toward the depths of The Big Bottom.
Hornsby traces its roots to the expansion of rail lines and the steady, agrarian labor that has long anchored the local economy. While the bustle of larger corridors remains far removed, the daily life of the inhabitants is governed by the cycles of the harvest and the maintenance of the land, with the proximity to the Chickasaw State Forest & Wildlife Management Area providing a sanctuary for both local fauna and those who seek the stillness of the woods. Residents occasionally travel toward the waters of Gibson Pond, a quiet presence in the landscape that offers a mirror to the expansive, cloud-dappled sky. The character of Hornsby remains quiet and deliberate, reflecting a history built on the resilience of those who cultivate the heavy, fertile soil of the region.

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.
