How to Use This Riddleton, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Riddleton emerges from the quiet, verdant folds of the landscape where the Davis Branch carves a persistent, narrow path through the earth. It lies 9.6 miles east-southeast of Hartsville, TN (from Hartsville, TN: bearing 120°T), and is situated 6.6 miles northwest of South Carthage. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the limestone outcrops and the dense, encroaching greenery of the surrounding woodland. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains blur into the haze of the horizon, offering a faint, jagged reminder of the wider geography. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, pale ribbons, illuminating the damp soil and the intricate tangle of roots that stabilize the banks near Brimm Hollow. It is a place where the light at dusk turns the color of bruised plums, settling over the fields with a weight that seems to slow the very passage of time.

Riddleton carries the legacy of a quiet, agrarian endurance, where the rhythm of the work day is dictated more by the turning of the seasons than by the ticking of a clock. The local economy remains tethered to the patterns of the land and the modest commerce of a rural crossroads, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of Old Hickory Lake for respite, or observe the calm, steady waters of Cordell Hull Reservoir as it mirrors the passing clouds. While the thunderous beauty of Cummins Falls lies some distance away, the spirit of the land is found in these smaller, muted connections to the water and the field. Life in Riddleton persists with a deliberate, unassuming grace, defined by the people who continue to cultivate the soil and maintain the quiet continuity of their forebears.

About This Riddleton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Riddleton, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.321442, -86.018043. 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 Riddleton includes the ZIP code (37151), telephone area code (615), county seat of Smith County (Carthage), 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.
