Explore Jamestown, 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 Jamestown, 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 Jamestown.
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.

Jamestown occupies a high, singular plateau where the light shifts with a deliberate, heavy grace across the timbered landscape. It lies 4.3 miles north-northwest of Fentress, TN (from Fentress, TN: bearing 335°T), and is situated 8.7 miles east of Cooper. Crooked Creek carves a persistent path through the local terrain, its waters moving with a quiet urgency toward the deeper folds of the earth. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the horizon holds the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains, anchoring the view in a permanent, geologic stillness. To the south, the deep fissures of Coal Bank Hollow break the surface of the land, while the nearby Old Jamestown Reservoir offers a stagnant, glass-like reflection of the passing clouds. The air here holds a crisp, mineral quality, particularly when the morning sun illuminates the canopy of the distant Scott State Forest.
Jamestown maintains a rhythm defined by the rugged endurance of the high plateau and the legacy of those who first cleared its dense, stubborn woods. Life here often gravitates toward the natural sanctuary of Colditz Cove Designated State Natural Area, where the mist rises from the mossy floor to shroud the descent toward Magendanz Falls. The local economy persists through a quiet blend of forestry and regional commerce, far removed from the frantic pace of the state’s urban corridors. Long ago, the settlement took root as a rugged outpost for frontiersmen, and today, that sense of self-reliance remains etched into the daily habits of the people. Visitors often find that Jamestown possesses a gravity all its own, a place where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the slow, seasonal turning of the woods and the persistent flow of the creek beds.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jamestown, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.430786, -84.935589. 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 Jamestown includes the ZIP code (38015, 37129, 37027), telephone area code (615, 629, 423), county seat of Fentress County (Jamestown), and school district assignment (Fentress 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.
