Explore Lewis, 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 Lewis, 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 Lewis.
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.

Lewis rises from the quiet, low-slung expanse of Jerden Hollow, a landscape defined by the persistent, winding course of Grinders Creek. It lies 19.9 miles north-northwest of Lawrenceburg, TN (from Lawrenceburg, TN: bearing 332°T), and is situated 4.6 miles southeast of Hohenwald. The terrain climbs toward the firm, protective silhouette of Newburg Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a steady, gray-blue line. Sunlight catches the moisture clinging to the earth here, turning the morning air into a pale, translucent veil that settles over the fields. Only three miles away, the waters of Napier Diversion Lake hold a stillness that mirrors the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate basin, the land stretches out in a series of gentle, undulating rises that define the character of the soil.
Lewis maintains a history tethered to the slow accumulation of agricultural labor and the quiet industry of the interior plains. The local economy draws its strength from the fertile ground that has sustained families for generations, favoring timber production and small-scale husbandry. Within reach of the six-mile stretch to Lewis State Forest, the wood-products industry provides a steady, rhythmic pulse to the workday. Commerce in Lewis remains modest and intentional, focusing on the processing of natural resources that the earth provides with cautious generosity. The labor here is quiet, marked by the steady hum of machinery and the seasonal cycles of the harvest.
Lewis possesses a culture of reserve, where the passage of time is measured by the changing shadows cast by the trees rather than the frantic pace of the outside world. Residents often gather at the borders of Auntney Hollow Designated State Natural Area to observe the subtle shifts in the local ecosystem. While the town remains quiet, the distant roar of Jenkins Falls provides a singular, powerful contrast to the muted landscape of the hollows. No figures of global renown claim this ground as their origin, allowing the identity of Lewis to remain entirely with those who walk its paths daily. Life here follows the cadence of the wind through the leaves, a persistent and honest existence that asks for little more than a day’s work and the quiet company of the land.

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.
