Explore Oakland, 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 Oakland, 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 Oakland.
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.

Oakland occupies a quiet expanse of West Tennessee where the earth levels into a gentle, fertile basin. It lies 5.7 miles east-southeast of Paris, TN (from Paris, TN: bearing 107°T), and is situated 4.6 miles east of Hancock. The Vaughn Branch carves a soft, winding path through the landscape, its waters feeding the verdant undergrowth that defines the local terrain. A mile distant, the still surface of Twin Lakes reflects the amber light of late afternoon, while the fringes of the Bailey Fork Public Hunting Area offer a sanctuary of oak and hickory where the shadows grow long and cool. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Pea Ridge provides a permanent boundary to the sky, anchoring the view in a land defined by its inland stillness and the slow, rhythmic crawl of the seasons.
Oakland bears the quiet marks of a place that grew from the steady labor of the soil, transitioning from early agrarian roots into a modern crossroads of local commerce. The economic pulse of the region remains tied to the rhythms of the land, with the West Sandy Creek Dewatering Area serving as a reminder of the constant, necessary management of the moisture-rich earth. Life moves with an unforced cadence here, characterized by the hum of traffic along the main arteries and the persistent, quiet growth of residential neighborhoods spreading across the fields. The character of the people reflects a pragmatic endurance, a legacy of families who have worked this clay for generations, finding a distinct sense of permanence in the steady, quiet expansion of Oakland as it bridges the gap between its rural heritage and the demands of the modern day.

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.
