Explore Lenox, 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 Lenox, 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 Lenox.
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.

Lenox holds the quiet weight of the western Tennessee plains, defined by a landscape that stretches flat and wide under an expansive, unyielding sky. It lies 3.7 miles west of Shelby, TN (from Shelby, TN: bearing 269°T), and is situated 3.7 miles east-southeast of Memphis. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Pecan Ridge that marks the far periphery of the traveler’s view. Within the immediate footprint of the land, the earth maintains a steady, fertile consistency, punctuated by the slow, deliberate movement of Lick Creek as it carves a shallow path through the soil just a mile from the center. Peabody Park offers an immediate patch of managed green, providing a stillness that complements the rhythmic, seasonal shift of light across the fields. Even at dusk, when the shadows lengthen across the dust, the air retains a dry, grounded warmth, reflecting the simple, unadorned character of the local geography.
Lenox carries the legacy of a working landscape where the economy has long been tethered to the productivity of the soil and the steady commerce of the surrounding region. The presence of Memphis Lake nearby serves as a quiet anchor for the area, drawing the occasional visitor to its edges while the daily life of the locality continues with a focus on agriculture and local trade. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of the families who have worked this ground, maintaining a steady, modest pace of life that resists the frantic acceleration of larger urban centers. Further afield, the low-lying expanse of Presidents Island Number Forty-five reminds one of the complex water-sculpted terrain that defines the greater basin. In Lenox, the day begins and ends with the familiar sounds of a place that knows its own boundaries, valuing the quiet consistency of its fields over the clamor of external change.

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.
