How to Use This Oak Hill, Tennessee Map

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

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 Oak Hill, Tennessee

Oak Hill is a locality in Carter County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,891. The population density is 240.7 people per km². Oak Hill is located at 36.0684°N, 86.7931°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Oak Hill is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 37220, 37658, 37659.

Oak Hill emerges from the quiet, verdant folds of the Tennessee landscape where the currents of Browns Branch carve a persistent, silver path through the soil. It lies 7.9 miles south of Elizabethton, TN (from Elizabethton, TN: bearing 182°T), and is situated 9.4 miles southeast of Johnson City. The land here rises in measured, deliberate slopes, shifting from the intimate topography of Byrd Hollow to the broader, more imposing silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains that sharpen the distant horizon. Sunlight filters through the dense, protective canopy of the North Cherokee National Forest & Wildlife Management Area, casting long, amber shadows that catch the mineral glint of the creek bed. During the humid transitions of late afternoon, the air thickens with the scent of damp earth and cooling limestone, grounding the sensory experience in a geography defined by its inland seclusion and the slow, rhythmic persistence of its natural drainage.

Economic life in Oak Hill has long been dictated by the necessity of working with, rather than against, the stubborn terrain that characterizes this segment of the state. While residents often seek the solitude offered by the Stone Mountain Trail, the local character remains anchored in the traditions of land stewardship and the industrious spirit required to maintain homesteads in such a rugged, landlocked environment. The proximity to Watauga Lake serves as a quiet anchor for those who look toward the water for respite, yet the primary focus of the day-to-day remains the steady, unpretentious commerce of a place that prefers the shade of its hardwoods to the visibility of urban expansion. Oak Hill persists as a quiet enclave, a fragment of high-ground living where the history of the Appalachian foothills informs every choice of architecture and every path worn through the undergrowth.

About This Oak Hill Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oak Hill, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.068447, -86.793127. 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 Oak Hill includes the ZIP code (37220, 37658, 37659), telephone area code (731, 615), county seat of Carter County (Elizabethton), and school district assignment (Metropolitan Nashville Public School District).

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.
