Explore Palmyra, 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 Palmyra, 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 Palmyra.
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.

Palmyra remains anchored to the earth by the persistent, winding course of Deason Creek, which carves a path through the quiet landscape. It lies 8.1 miles north-northwest of Marion, TN (from Marion, TN: bearing 339°T), and is situated 9.5 miles southwest of Clarksville. The terrain surrounding Palmyra unfolds in a series of gentle, undulating elevations, eventually rising toward the rugged silhouette of Flint Ridge to the north. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, syrupy quality during the late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields and catching the suspended dust of the rural roads. To the west, the expanse of Lake Barkley offers a broader, stiller counterpoint to the restless movement of the creeks, while the Haynes Bottom Wildlife Management Area provides a dense, protected sanctuary where the undergrowth thrives in the humid silence of the bottomlands. Nearby, the uneven topography of Sawmill Hollow dips into the soil, creating pockets of cool, shaded air that persist long after the midday heat has retreated.
History in Palmyra is written in the quiet endurance of its land, where the rhythms of agriculture have long dictated the pace of the day. The economy has historically leaned upon the fertility of the soil and the proximity of the woods, sustaining a community that values the slow accumulation of seasons over the frantic pulse of the modern world. While the echoes of early settlement have largely settled into the landscape, the influence of the region is felt in the steady maintenance of homesteads and the sparse, deliberate development of the surrounding acreage. Life here follows the subtle shifts of the weather and the migration of wildlife through the fields, a cycle that remains largely undisturbed by the outside world. Far from the dense urban centers, Palmyra persists as a place where the primary connection remains the direct, unvarnished relationship between the inhabitant and the soil.

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.
