How to Use This Jellico, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Jellico occupies a rugged corner of the landscape where the terrain begins to rise toward the distant Cumberland Mountains, which loom like a hazy, blue-gray promise on the horizon. It lies 25.8 miles northwest of Union, TN (from Union, TN: bearing 310°T), and is situated 14.2 miles north of La Follette. Elk Creek cuts a narrow, serpentine path through the low-lying earth, its water reflecting the shifting light of a sky that seems wider here than in the deeper valleys. To the immediate west, the land folds into the steep, shadowed basin of Slaughter Pen Hollow, while the dense, quiet expanse of Indian Mountain State Forest blankets the surrounding slopes in a thick, verdant cloak. At Indian Mountain, the park grounds offer a vantage point where the air smells faintly of damp shale and pine, and the evening shadows lengthen with a slow, deliberate weight that marks the passage of the day.

Jellico carries the quiet, enduring character of a place built on the hard labor of the earth, its foundations rooted in a history of coal extraction that once fueled the industry of the region. While the roar of the mines has long since faded into a hum of modern commerce, the legacy of that work remains in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the resilient spirit of the people who call these hills home. Life moves according to the steady, predictable rhythms of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger transit corridors that pass through the state. On quiet afternoons, one might find the local pace reflected in the stillness of the woods, or look toward the distant, shimmering surface of Doakes Pond, thirteen miles away, as the only water that breaks the steady, wooded incline of the terrain.

About This Jellico Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jellico, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.571562, -84.116199. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
