How to Use This Minor Hill, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Minor Hill rises from the earth as a series of quiet swells and muted hollows, defined by the persistent, rhythmic passage of Puncheon Branch as it carves a path through the limestone-rich soil. It lies 10.2 miles west-southwest of Giles, TN (from Giles, TN: bearing 257°T), and is situated 14.6 miles south of Weakley. To the north, the elevation shifts toward the slopes of White Ridge, which stands as a silent sentinel over the surrounding fields and dense patches of timber. The air in Black Hollow remains heavy and still on humid afternoons, holding the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves that collect in the low-lying basins. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it clarifies the texture of the flinty ground, turning the gray gravel of local lanes into bright, jagged ribbons that wind toward the horizon.

History in Minor Hill is written in the slow transition from subsistence farming to the steady, modest commerce of a rural crossroads, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of the land. Residents maintain a private connection to the terrain, looking toward the distant spray of Copperas Falls or the quiet waters of Richardson Ponds as markers of the deeper, wilder geography that exists beyond the managed acreage. While the State-owned Submerged Lands offer a protected sanctuary for the region's flora and fauna, the daily life of Minor Hill continues with a deliberate, unhurried focus on the fields and the seasonal shifts of the harvest. This is a place where the passage of time is measured not by grand events, but by the way the evening shadows lengthen across the pastures, grounding the inhabitants in a landscape that has remained largely unchanged for generations.

About This Minor Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Minor Hill, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.05536, -87.157513. 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 Minor Hill includes the ZIP code (38473), telephone area code (901), county seat of Giles County (Pulaski), and school district assignment (Giles 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.
