How to Use This Moss, Tennessee Map

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

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 Moss, Tennessee

Moss is a locality in Clay County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Moss is located at 36.5892°N, 85.6169°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 38575.

Moss reveals its character through the persistent, quiet passage of the Spring Branch, which carves a narrow, silver path through the landscape. It lies 23.3 miles west-northwest of Monroe, TN (from Monroe, TN: bearing 297°T), and is situated 3.4 miles west-northwest of Clay. The earth here rises and falls in long, green swells, forming a terrain that feels ancient and unhurried under the weight of the afternoon sun. To the distant horizon, the faint, hazy outlines of the Cumberland Mountains provide a permanent, shadowy frame to the view, while the immediate surroundings remain defined by the lush, dense growth of the local timber and the low-slung, fertile fields. The light at dusk settles heavy and gold over the timber, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the open pasture as the air cools.

Capshaw Hollow sits as a nearby reminder of the deep, quiet folds in the land where life has long centered on the rhythms of the soil and the seasonal harvest. The economy of Moss remains anchored in the traditional labor of the land, with small-scale agriculture and timber production defining the steady, methodical pace of the days. Those seeking the quietude of the outdoors often travel toward the Cordell Hull Recreation Area to witness the stillness of the woods, or perhaps cast a line toward the waters of Line Creek Lake Number Three B. Life in Moss moves with a deliberate, singular gravity, where the neighbors know the sound of a passing truck and the shifting of the wind through the trees holds more weight than the clamor of the outside world.

About This Moss Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Moss, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.589226, -85.616917. 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 Moss includes the ZIP code (38575), telephone area code (423), county seat of Clay County (Celina), 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.
