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 reveals itself through the steady, patient movement of Anthony Branch as it carves a slow path through the limestone-laden earth. It lies 6.2 miles south-southeast of Mount Juliet, TN (from Mount Juliet, TN: bearing 159°T), and is situated 9.5 miles north-northeast of Smyrna. The landscape here is defined by a quiet terrestrial geometry, where low, undulating fields give way to dense thickets of cedar that suggest the proximity of the Cedars of Lebanon State Forest. In the late afternoon, the light settles heavily upon the grass, turning the fields a muted, bruised gold that persists until the shadows lengthen from the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. The air carries the scent of damp soil and drying hay, a sharp, earthy perfume that clings to the skin long after the sun has dipped below the horizon, leaving the expanse of Rural Hill to cool in the stillness of the Middle Tennessee night.
The identity of Rural Hill is anchored in the legacy of those who first broke this clay-heavy soil, establishing a rhythm of life dictated by the seasonal requirements of agriculture and the maintenance of the land. Proximity to the J. Percy Priest Reservoir dictates the local moisture and the character of the flora, providing a backdrop for a quiet economy that remains tethered to the slow cycles of the harvest rather than the frantic pace of the nearby urban centers. Residents often find their recreation in the quietude of the J. Percy Priest Recreation Area, a place where the water acts as a mirror for the changing sky. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned focus, shaped by the persistent memory of earlier generations who navigated the same topography toward Scotts Hollow, finding a singular peace in the isolation of these inland plains.

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.
