How to Use This Midway, Tennessee Map

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

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.

About Midway, Tennessee

Midway is a locality in Johnson County, Tennessee, United States. Midway is located at 35.8015°N, 85.7030°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 37604, 38575, 38581.

Midway holds the quiet, low-slung geography of a place defined by the steady, persistent movement of Roan Creek as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 17.4 miles east of Carter, TN (from Carter, TN: bearing 90°T), and is situated 4.7 miles south-southeast of Mountain City. This landscape is characterized by the modest, shadowed depths of Price Hollow, where the land sinks into a basin that catches the morning frost and holds it long after the sun has climbed. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains frame the horizon, acting as a permanent, silent boundary to the east. The air here feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and ancient timber, and the light at dusk often turns a bruised, singular violet that clings to the ridges of the fields, lending a sudden, sharp clarity to the surrounding woods.

Midway maintains a pace of life dictated by the seasonal cycles of the land, with an economy that remains tethered to the quiet labor of agriculture and the small-scale commerce of the backcountry. Residents find their recreation in the proximity of Elk Knob State Park, a rugged expanse of wilderness that offers a stark contrast to the worked earth of the local farms. While the larger waters of Watauga Lake lie a short distance away, the character of the locality is shaped more by the immediate, intimate connection to the creek and the deep, silent hollows that define its borders. History here is not written in grand monuments, but in the stubborn persistence of family plots and the slow, rhythmic maintenance of the roads that link these isolated pockets of life to the wider world.

About This Midway Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midway, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.801457, -85.703037. 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 Midway includes the ZIP code (37604, 38575, 38581), telephone area code (423, 731), county seat of Johnson County (Mountain City), and school district assignment.

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.
