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 persistent, clear waters of Piney Creek carve a path through the earth, defining the rhythm of the local topography. It lies 10.3 miles west-northwest of Roane, TN (from Roane, TN: bearing 295°T), and is situated 3.5 miles northwest of Rockwood. This landscape is characterized by a series of rugged shifts in elevation, leading the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains that guard the western horizon. Residents often find the late afternoon light particularly transformative, as it catches the limestone dust and turns the surrounding woods into a deep, burnished bronze. The terrain remains largely shaped by the natural drainage of the basin known as Coalbank Hollow, which dictates the flow of the land toward the nearby, still waters of Lake Waldensia.
Mount Vernon remains deeply connected to the legacy of the Mt. Roosevelt Wildlife Management Area, an expanse of protected land that ensures the preservation of the local flora and fauna. Historically, the economy has been tethered to the exploitation of the region’s natural resources, though the pace of life today is marked more by the steady maintenance of rural industry and timber management than by the frantic pace of larger hubs. Travelers drawn to the natural wonders of the area frequently venture toward Ozone Falls, where the water descends in a singular, vertical drop that has measured the passing seasons for generations. In the quiet hours before dusk, the air carries a distinct scent of damp earth and cooling pine, a reminder of the enduring, unadorned character that defines the daily existence of Mount Vernon.

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.
