Explore Pickwick Dam, 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 Pickwick Dam, 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 Pickwick Dam.
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.

Pickwick Dam anchors the earth where the Tennessee River broadens into a vast, deliberate expanse of water, carving a path through the limestone foundations of the land. It lies 3.5 miles south of Hardin, TN (from Hardin, TN: bearing 181°T), and is situated 18.0 miles east-northeast of Corinth. The landscape surrounding Pickwick Dam unfolds in a series of wooded elevations that eventually rise toward the silhouette of Bee Rock Ridge on the distant horizon. Down in Quarry Hollow, the air holds a persistent, cool dampness, and the sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden shafts that illuminate the mossy stones lining the earth. Pickwick Lake stretches outward from the concrete barrier, creating a stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of the water moving through the spillways. A few miles away, the hidden spray of Rainbow Falls offers a fleeting, prismatic brightness, a sharp contrast to the deep, muted greens of the surrounding forest.
Economic life around Pickwick Dam remains tethered to the rhythm of the river and the stewardship of the land, drawing travelers to Pickwick Landing State Park to witness the intersection of engineering and natural force. The regional identity is shaped by the legacy of mid-century infrastructure projects, which transformed the river into a reliable source of power and a center for quiet, sustained recreation. Daily life here moves with the deliberate pace of the current, where the primary focus is the maintenance of the waterways and the preservation of the open, wooded terrain that defines the local character. Men and women navigate the transition from the industrial utility of the dam to the leisure of the lake, finding a sense of continuity in the way the river continues to shape the economy and the spirit of the people who reside by its banks.

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.
