How to Use This Olivet, Tennessee Map

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

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 Olivet, Tennessee

Olivet is a locality in Giles County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,441. The population density is 93.3 people per km². Olivet is located at 35.2048°N, 88.1939°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 38478, 38372.

Olivet occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the steady, persistent presence of Richland Creek as it carves a path through the limestone-rich earth. It lies 9.3 miles east-northeast of Weakley, TN (from Weakley, TN: bearing 77°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north of Pulaski. The landscape around Olivet is characterized by the soft, folding geometry of the countryside, where Ballentine Hollow dips into the terrain just a mile away, creating a natural basin that catches the morning mist. To the west, the distant outline of Hurricane Ridge marks the horizon, a serrated edge against the pale Tennessee sky. The light here has a peculiar, heavy quality at dusk, turning the fields a deep, bruised copper as the shadows lengthen across the pastures. Nearby, the still surface of Sanders Lake reflects the slow passage of clouds, offering a cool counterpoint to the warmth radiating from the sun-baked soil of the surrounding fields.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with generations of families tending to the crops and livestock that have long sustained the inhabitants of Olivet. The rhythm of daily life follows the seasonal demands of the harvest and the quiet persistence of rural labor, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. While the Giles County Rotary Soccer Complex provides a space for community gathering five miles away, the core of life remains rooted in the small, unpretentious patterns of farmsteads and narrow roads that follow the contours of the land. There is a profound stillness in the air here, a sense of continuity that ignores the urgency of the wider world, favoring instead the slow, deliberate work of maintaining a life on this particular piece of Middle Tennessee soil.

About This Olivet Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Olivet, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.204752, -88.193899. 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 Olivet includes the ZIP code (38478, 38372), telephone area code (901), county seat of Giles County (Pulaski), and school district assignment (Hardin 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.
