Explore Mount Vernon, Tennessee, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mount Vernon, 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 Mount Vernon.
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.

Mount Vernon occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of clay and limestone. It lies 2.7 miles south of Cleveland, TN (from Cleveland, TN: bearing 169°T), and is situated 5.1 miles south of Bradley. The terrain here is defined by the proximity of Blue Springs Valley, a low-slung depression that catches the morning mist and holds the damp scent of turned soil until well past noon. To the west, the land yields toward the path of Coahulla Creek, which cuts a narrow, winding artery through the dense thickets and pastured fields. Wildwood Lake sits just a short distance away, its surface a mirror for the shifting gray clouds that drift in from the distant Appalachian Mountains, visible only as a faint, serrated bruise against the horizon on the clearest of days.
Mount Vernon retains the character of an older, agrarian interior, where the patterns of industry have long been tethered to the quality of the harvest and the seasonal cycles of the fields. Residents often gather at Mike Burke Park to observe the slow transition of the seasons, finding a sense of stability in the unchanging horizon and the deliberate pace of local commerce. The economy remains rooted in the land, a quiet persistence that favors long-standing traditions over the frantic shifts of modern development. Here, the quality of light at dusk—a bruised, heavy gold that lingers against the timberlines—seems to emphasize the depth of the regional silence, marking the end of a day that moves with the steady, unforced cadence of the earth itself.

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.
