How to Use This Oakland, Tennessee Map

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.

About Oakland, Tennessee

Oakland is a locality in Putnam County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 8,936. The population density is 341.2 people per km². Oakland is located at 35.2261°N, 89.5382°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Oakland is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 37681, 37087, 38060.

Oakland occupies a quiet stretch of land where the steady flow of Little Creek serves as a constant, rhythmic companion to the local landscape. It lies 2.8 miles north-northwest of Cookeville, TN (from Cookeville, TN: bearing 341°T), and is situated 5.1 miles north-northwest of Putnam. The earth here is defined by a gentle, undulating topography that gives way to deep woodland and quiet fields, creating a terrain that feels both sturdy and patient under the shifting Tennessee sky. In the distance, the faint, hazy outline of the Cumberland Mountains suggests a vastness beyond the immediate horizon, while the air carries the cool, damp scent of vegetation that seems to deepen as the sun dips low. Residents often find that the light at dusk settles over the fields in a soft, amber glow, highlighting the texture of the soil and the way the trees stand in silhouette against the darkening clouds.

History in Oakland reflects a slow, deliberate expansion, moving from early agrarian roots toward a modern identity that balances growth with the preservation of its natural surroundings. While the local economy has evolved, the presence of landmarks like the Upper Cumberland Soccer Complex provides a space for communal activity that anchors the daily lives of those living nearby. For those seeking the raw power of the region, the nearby Cummins Falls offers a stark contrast to the quietude of Cane Creek Lake, where the water remains undisturbed by the faster currents found further afield. Life in Oakland moves with a measured cadence, shaped by the proximity of Twelve Corners Hollow and the enduring influence of a landscape that demands a respectful, observant pace from anyone who calls it home.

About This Oakland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakland, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.226102, -89.538172. 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 Oakland includes the ZIP code (37681, 37087, 38060), telephone area code (615, 629, 901), county seat of Putnam County (Cookeville), and school district assignment (Fayette County 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.
