How to Use This Lookout Mountain, Tennessee Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lookout Mountain, 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 Lookout Mountain.
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.

ZIP code: 37350.Lookout Mountain rises as a limestone sentinel above the valley floor, its jagged brow etched against the Tennessee sky. It lies 4.2 miles south-southwest of Chattanooga, TN (from Chattanooga, TN: bearing 212°T), and is situated 5.7 miles west-southwest of East Ridge. The rugged terrain of Lookout Mountain commands the horizon, where the air holds a crystalline sharpness that clarifies the distant, hazy blue of the Appalachian Mountains far to the east. Below the steep, wooded flanks, the steady flow of Lookout Creek carves a quiet path through the shadow of the heights, while the calmer surface of Lake Lookout mirrors the shifting amber light of late afternoon. A wanderer might trace the Hardy Trail as it weaves through the dense, leaf-littered slope, finding a brief respite in the verdant expanse of St. Elmo Park before the incline grows steep once more.
History clings to the stratified rock of Lookout Mountain like moss, bearing witness to eras when the landscape served as a strategic threshold for those moving through the interior. The local economy persists with a quiet dignity, balancing the preservation of its natural legacy with the steady pulse of a residential community that values the solitude of the ridge. Life on Lookout Mountain moves in rhythm with the seasons, from the deep, damp silence of winter mornings to the humid, cicada-drenched heat of midsummer. Though the sprawl of industry hums in the distance, the residents of Lookout Mountain maintain a deliberate stillness, tethered to the ancient geology that defines their home and the persistent, slow erosion of the earth beneath their feet.

About This Lookout Mountain Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. Coordinates: 34.994242, -85.349403. 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 Lookout Mountain includes the ZIP code (37350), telephone area code (615), county seat of Hamilton County (Chattanooga), and school district assignment (Hamilton 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.
