How to Use This Mercer, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Mercer occupies a quiet stretch of land where the moisture of the soil seems to hold the light long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. It lies 15.9 miles southwest of Jackson, TN (from Jackson, TN: bearing 234°T), and is situated 18.4 miles southwest of Lawrence. Big Black Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its banks lined with the dense, dark growth of bottomland hardwoods that define the local topography. Only three miles away, the surface of Silver Moon Lake reflects the pale, wide sky, offering a stillness that mirrors the temperament of the surrounding plains. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and cooling vegetation, a heavy, grounded atmosphere that suggests a deep connection to the cycle of the seasons. Five miles distant, the Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge provides a vast sanctuary for migratory birds, their seasonal movements marking the passage of time more reliably than any clock.

Mercer emerged from the necessity of the land, growing from the steady, rhythmic labor of agriculture that has long anchored the local economy. The legacy of the region remains visible in the expansive fields that stretch toward the horizon, where the cultivation of crops dictates the pace of life and the changing colors of the earth. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of work and the quiet persistence of those who remain tied to the soil. Life in Mercer moves with a measured cadence, shaped by the proximity of the Hatchie Bottom and the constant, quiet presence of the surrounding woodlands. Residents observe a daily routine that prizes consistency and a familiarity with the land, maintaining a way of life that values the tangible over the ephemeral.

About This Mercer Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mercer, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.479245, -89.042286. 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 Mercer includes the ZIP code (38392), telephone area code (901), county seat of Madison County (Jackson), and school district assignment (Jackson-Madison County School System).

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.
