Explore Ravenscroft, 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 Ravenscroft, 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 Ravenscroft.
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.

Ravenscroft emerges from the quiet, undulating topography of the Cumberland Plateau, where the earth holds the deep, mineral memory of ancient coal seams. It lies 13.2 miles east-northeast of White, TN (from White, TN: bearing 72°T), and is situated 14.9 miles southeast of Putnam. The Twin Branch carves a narrow, persistent path through the local terrain, its waters reflecting the gray-blue cast of the low-hanging clouds that frequently stall against the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the landscape shifts into dense, hardwood stands that mirror the wilder, shadowed character of Bledsoe State Forest. The air here carries a distinct, sharp clarity at dusk, settling over the fields like a heavy, cooling shroud that softens the hard edges of the limestone outcrops and the weathered fence lines.
Ravenscroft retains the echoes of a rigorous industrial legacy, having been shaped by the labor-intensive demands of coal extraction that once dictated the pulse of the regional economy. While the heavy machinery has long since fallen silent, the rhythm of life remains tethered to the land’s stubborn, quiet endurance rather than the frantic pace of the modern world. Residents often look toward the secluded depths of Owl Hollow or the seasonal, cascading descent of Pilot Falls for a sense of perspective, finding solace in the permanence of the natural landscape. Visitors seeking the stillness of the wilderness frequently traverse the nearby trails of Dog Cove State Natural Area, while those inclined toward the water find a modest, reflective reprieve at the edges of Buck Creek Lake.

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.
