Explore Pulaski, 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 Pulaski, 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 Pulaski.
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.

Pulaski emerges from the landscape as a quiet expanse defined by the patient flow of Pleasant Run Creek. It lies 8.1 miles north-northwest of Giles, TN (from Giles, TN: bearing 340°T), and is situated 10.0 miles east-southeast of Weakley. The town occupies a stretch of land where the horizon is gently defined by the presence of Aymett Ridge rising two miles away. Beyond the immediate streets, the terrain dips into the sheltered expanse of Phillips Hollow, providing a natural basin that catches the soft, golden light of late afternoons. Residents often find respite at Pleasant Run Park, which offers a green threshold for those seeking to walk near the water. A short distance away, the quiet surface of Abernathy Lake reflects the changing sky, grounding the local geography in a stillness that feels both ancient and persistent.
Pulaski maintains a historical pulse that beats in rhythm with the surrounding farmland and the steady transition of the seasons. Agriculture has long served as the backbone of the local economy, with the soil yielding crops that sustain the families who have called this region home for generations. Over time, the industries here have evolved, moving from early agrarian foundations toward a diverse mix of manufacturing and local commerce that keeps the streets active. The work ethic of the people remains tied to the land, favoring tangible production and a commitment to maintaining the infrastructure that supports daily life. Small businesses line the central corridors, reflecting a preference for stability and the measured pace of a community that values its own self-sufficiency.
Pulaski expresses its unique cultural character through a blend of traditional Southern hospitality and a quiet pride in its local heritage. The town square remains a primary landmark, serving as a gathering point for residents during seasonal events that mark the passage of the year. Music and storytelling have historically played a vital role in the social fabric, echoing the broader cultural patterns found across the middle of the state. One notable figure, the singer and songwriter Dan Seals, spent his formative years in this region, carrying the influence of these landscapes into his professional life. Today, the atmosphere remains focused on the preservation of local identity, where the legacy of the past informs the modest, steady progress of the present.

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.
