Explore Mowbray Mountain, 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 Mowbray Mountain, 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 Mowbray Mountain.
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.

Mowbray Mountain rises as a rugged, elevated plateau above the surrounding Tennessee landscape, defined by the persistent, cold-running waters of the Stevenson Branch that carve through the local terrain. It lies 4.1 miles northwest of Soddy Daisy, TN (from Soddy Daisy, TN: bearing 319°T), and is situated 9.7 miles north of Hixson. The earth here is layered with sandstone and shale, creating a high, flat-topped wilderness where the air thins and cools long before the sun dips behind the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. A few miles away, the quiet basin of Mansfield Gulf holds the morning mist, while the nearby paths of the Cumberland Trail offer a singular vantage over the dense, shadowed woodlands that dominate the slope. To the west, the stillness of Crow Pond reflects the changing sky, providing a stark, glassy contrast to the jagged rock outcrops that characterize the high reaches of Mowbray Mountain.
Early settlers were drawn to the austere isolation of Mowbray Mountain, finding a life tied to the extraction of coal and the quiet labor of small-scale timber harvests. While the industrial fervor of the past has largely receded, the legacy of these laborers remains etched into the character of the hillside, where the economy has shifted toward a slower, more deliberate stewardship of the land. Residents move with a measured pace, often traveling toward the amenities of larger hubs but returning to the solitude of the ridge where the wind carries the scent of pine and damp earth. On late summer evenings, the light turns a bruised purple against the hardwoods, illuminating a landscape that demands self-reliance and offers, in return, a profound, unbroken silence.

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.
