How to Use This Selmer, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Selmer anchors itself to the quiet, red-clay earth of West Tennessee, defined by the steady, unassuming passage of the Cypress Creek Ditch that cuts through the landscape. It lies 9.7 miles southeast of Robertson, TN (from Robertson, TN: bearing 133°T), and is situated 19.9 miles west-northwest of Hardin. The horizon is broad and unencumbered, occasionally broken by the distant, hazy silhouette of Winding Ridge, which marks the edge of the world far to the east. Beyond the residential streets, the land gives way to the deep, shadowed creases of Moss Hollow, where the air holds a cooler, damp weight even in the heat of an August afternoon. Sunlight here possesses a particular, honeyed quality, catching the dust motes above fields that stretch toward the horizon, while the proximity to City Park offers a modest, manicured reprieve of green space for those seeking the shade of a late-day walk.

Selmer carries the weight of a regional crossroads, a place where the economy has long been tethered to the rhythm of local commerce and the steady pulse of timber and manufacturing. The history of the area is etched into the modest brick facades and the grid of streets that have seen the transition from agricultural dependence to the modern hum of industry. While the quietude of the surroundings often draws the eye toward the distant, wooded reaches of Chickasaw State Forest, the focus remains firmly on the daily labor and the persistent, quiet endurance of its residents. Even when the evening light begins to fail, the atmosphere retains a sense of purpose, as if the land itself—stretching toward the distant, unseen waters of J J Madison Lake—demands a certain groundedness from all who pass through.

About This Selmer Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Selmer, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.170084, -88.59227. 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 Selmer includes the ZIP code (38375), telephone area code (901), county seat of McNairy County (Selmer), and school district assignment (McNairy County School District).

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.
