Explore Rural Hill, 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 Rural Hill, 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 Rural Hill.
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.

Rural Hill emerges from the landscape as a quiet expanse of fertile soil and thickets, defined by the persistent, winding presence of the East Fork Hamilton Creek. It lies 2.3 miles east-northeast of Antioch, TN (from Antioch, TN: bearing 78°T), and is situated 8.6 miles northwest of Smyrna. The terrain here holds a subtle, heavy stillness, characterized by the limestone-rich earth and the dense, encroaching greenery that defines the middle Tennessee plateau. Sunlight catches the limestone outcroppings in the late afternoon, turning the gray stone to a soft, burnished gold before the shadows stretch long and cool across the fields. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains marks the eastern horizon, the immediate world is shaped by the gentle, rhythmic rise and fall of the ground, broken only by the occasional clearing or the shade of a nearby stand of trees.
Rural Hill maintains a character forged in the slow, deliberate work of agriculture and the quiet maintenance of the land that has sustained families for generations. The economy remains tethered to these traditional patterns, a legacy of patience that persists even as the modern world pushes closer to the banks of the J Percy Priest Reservoir. Life here is punctuated by the simple, enduring markers of a rural life, such as the distant shouts of children playing at the Lakeview School Playground or the seasonal change in the air that signals the harvest. Far removed from the bustle of urban centers, the pace of the day is dictated by the turning of the sun and the steady, unhurried flow of the local waterways that drain toward the basin of Scotts Hollow.

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.
