How to Use This Piney Flats, Tennessee Map

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

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 Piney Flats, Tennessee

Piney Flats is a locality in Sullivan County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,800. The population density is 120.0 people per km². Piney Flats is located at 36.4195°N, 82.3040°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 37686, 37699.

Piney Flats occupies a quiet intersection of limestone ridges and fertile soil where the persistent current of Lick Creek carves a path through the earth. It lies 5.6 miles south-southeast of Sullivan, TN (from Sullivan, TN: bearing 156°T), and is situated 6.0 miles south-southwest of Hamilton. The landscape here is defined by a slow, rhythmic transition from the sheltered depths of Thompson Hollow to the wider, sun-drenched expanses that reach toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains. During the autumn months, the air turns crisp and carries the scent of drying hay, while the light at dusk settles over the fields in a pale, amber glow that makes the surrounding woodland appear as if it were cast in bronze. Residents often find their way to the expansive grounds of Winged Deer Park, where the land opens up to accommodate the movement of seasonal wildlife and the quietude of the Tennessee countryside.

Piney Flats maintains a connection to its agrarian origins, with family farms still dotting the horizon alongside the modern infrastructure that sustains the local economy. History remains quiet but present in the older structures that endure along the roads, reflecting a legacy of settlement that valued the proximity to water and the relative isolation of the basin. The nearby presence of Boone Lake offers a vast, reflective surface that anchors the region, providing a counterpoint to the busy, industrious pace of daily life as commuters travel toward nearby centers of commerce. For those seeking a deeper engagement with the terrain, the Old Dug Trail remains a silent witness to the passage of time, winding through the woods as it has for generations, undisturbed by the hurried progress of the wider world.

About This Piney Flats Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Piney Flats, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.419549, -82.304026. 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 Piney Flats includes the ZIP code (37686, 37699), telephone area code (731), county seat of Sullivan County (Blountville), and school district assignment.

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.
