Explore Newbern, 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 Newbern, 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 Newbern.
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.

Newbern occupies a quiet stretch of the West Tennessee landscape where the horizon broadens into expansive, fertile plains. It lies 8.8 miles northeast of Dyersburg, TN (from Dyersburg, TN: bearing 52°T), and is situated 17.7 miles southwest of Crockett. The earth here is dark and heavy, a deep loam that catches the amber light of late afternoon and holds it long after the sun dips toward the horizon. Within the immediate footprint of Newbern, the grass of Newbern City Park remains a steady, vibrant green, providing a communal space that anchors the center of daily life. Only a mile away, the quiet course of Jones Creek drifts through the low-lying terrain, its waters mirroring the changing clouds while serving as a constant, subtle presence in the local geography. Farther out, the landscape occasionally yields to the stillness of Old River Lake, six miles distant, where the water surface remains undisturbed by the quickened pace of modern travel.
Newbern emerged from the agricultural ambitions of the nineteenth century, built on a foundation of cotton fields and the steady labor required to work such productive soil. The economy remains tethered to this rhythmic cycle of planting and harvest, defining a character that values endurance and the predictable turning of the seasons. While the distant silhouette of Horns Bluff stands twenty miles away as a faint reminder of the region’s geological variety, the immediate surroundings of Newbern are defined by the low, productive expanse of Tatumville Bottom, located eight miles out. Life here is measured by the steady hum of commerce and the enduring connections between families who have called this land home for generations. In the quiet hours of the evening, the air carries a crisp, earthen scent, a reminder of the vast, working fields that sustain the life of Newbern.

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.
