How to Use This Iron City, Tennessee Map

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

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 Iron City, Tennessee

Iron City is a locality in Lawrence County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 274. The population density is 153.1 people per km². Iron City is located at 35.0240°N, 87.5814°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 38463.

Iron City emerges from the quiet, verdant expanse of the Tennessee landscape where the water of Shoal Creek carves a persistent path through the limestone earth. It lies 20.5 miles southwest of Lawrenceburg, TN (from Lawrenceburg, TN: bearing 223°T), and is situated 16.4 miles north-northeast of Florence. The terrain surrounding Iron City is defined by the subtle, uneven rhythm of the land, shifting from the low-lying shadows of Williams Hollow to the higher ground that eventually rises toward the distant silhouette of Boarding House Hill. Sunlight catches the mineral-rich soil and the heavy, humid air of the late afternoon, casting a copper-toned glow over the thickets and open fields. Seven miles away, the expansive surface of Wilson Lake holds the sky in a mirror of still, blue glass, while the nearby Shoal Creek Preserve Tract offers a sanctuary of tangled growth and quietude for the native fauna that move through the underbrush.

History lingers in the soil of Iron City, a name that echoes the industrial aspirations of those who once looked to the earth for their livelihood. The local economy has long been tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the extraction of resources, mirroring the persistence of the generations who settled along the banks of Shoal Creek. Life in Iron City moves with a deliberate, measured pace, indifferent to the frantic velocity of the modern world, as residents navigate the intersection of past toil and present endurance. The collective memory here is kept not in grand monuments, but in the quiet preservation of the land and the steady, unadorned work that continues to shape the character of the inhabitants who call these woods and hollows home.

About This Iron City Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Iron City, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.023972, -87.581413. 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 Iron City includes the ZIP code (38463), telephone area code (901), county seat of Lawrence County (Lawrenceburg), and school district assignment (Lawrence 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.
