How to Use This Nunnelly, Tennessee Map

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

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 Nunnelly, Tennessee

Nunnelly is a locality in Hickman County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Nunnelly is located at 35.8595°N, 87.4692°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 37137.

Nunnelly rests within a landscape of quiet, persistent earth, defined by the slow erosion of limestone and the steady presence of timber. It lies 15.7 miles south-southwest of Dickson, TN (from Dickson, TN: bearing 197°T), and is situated 5.6 miles north of Centerville. The land tilts toward the low depression of Duck Hollow, where the air holds a cool, damp weight even in the heat of an August afternoon. To the east, the silhouette of Harrington Ridge anchors the horizon, its dark, wooded spine rising above the expanse of tangled thickets and pasture. Nearby, the current of Mill Creek carves a narrow, serpentine path through the soil, its water moving with a lethargic clarity that mirrors the stillness of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate canopy, the presence of Nickells Lake adds a pale, reflective pause to the terrain, a place where the light at dusk settles in long, flat ribbons of gray across the surface.

Nunnelly maintains a character forged by the soil and the cycles of rural industry, where the economy remains tied to the rhythms of timber harvest and the cultivation of small, private plots. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of those who measure time by the turning of seasons rather than the ticking of a clock, a habit of mind that has persisted since the earliest families cleared the brush to build their foundations. While the MTSU Wildlife Management Area sits a few miles away, serving as a sanctuary for the local fauna, the people of Nunnelly find their own quietude in the routine of maintenance and the slow, steady work of the land. It is a place that asks little of the traveler but patience, offering instead the simple, unadorned beauty of an interior landscape that remains largely untouched by the noise of the wider world.

About This Nunnelly Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nunnelly, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.85951, -87.469181. 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 Nunnelly includes the ZIP code (37137), telephone area code (615), county seat of Hickman County (Centerville), 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.
