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 Washington 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 spreads across a quiet, verdant expanse of Fayette County, where the earth leans into the soft, rhythmic swells of the West Tennessee landscape. It lies 7.1 miles southwest of Washington, TN (from Washington, TN: bearing 234°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west of Jonesborough. The horizon is defined by the deep, muted greens of hardwood forests and the open, persistent stretches of farmland that catch the long, golden light of late afternoon. Carson Creek carves a thin, reflective line through the nearby terrain, its waters moving with a deliberate, unhurried purpose toward the basin of Happy Valley. While the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains occasionally shimmer as a pale, jagged bruise against the evening sky, the immediate world here is one of dense thickets and fertile soil. For those who wander beyond the pavement, the Henderson Swamp Public Hunting Area offers a sprawling, untamed reach of wilderness where the air grows heavy with the scent of damp moss and pine needles.

Oakland maintains a deliberate pace that reflects its long-standing connection to the agricultural rhythms of the region. Originally rooted in the steady commerce of rural trade and the cultivation of the surrounding plains, the economy today balances its historical agrarian identity with a measured, modern growth. Life in Oakland is punctuated by the steady transition of the seasons, from the bright, humid intensity of summer to the muted, gray stillness of winter, a cycle that shapes the daily habits of its residents. Though Berry Pond lies a few miles to the north, providing a quiet, glassy mirror for the clouds, the character of the place remains anchored to the land itself rather than its waters. Local industry continues to respect the quietude of these fields, ensuring that the legacy of the early settlers—who recognized the value of this productive, level ground—persists in the way the neighborhood organizes its growth and preserves its open spaces.

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 Washington County (Jonesborough), 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.
