How to Use This Sewanee, Tennessee Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sewanee, 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 Sewanee.
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.

About Sewanee, Tennessee
Sewanee is a locality in Franklin County, Tennessee, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,535. The population density is 251.9 people per km². Sewanee is located at 35.2031°N, 85.9211°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 37375, 37383.Sewanee commands a high, limestone-crowned plateau where the air holds a persistent, cool clarity that distinguishes it from the humid lowlands below. It lies 19.1 miles south-southeast of Coffee, TN (from Coffee, TN: bearing 157°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east of Decherd. The Barnes Branch carves a quiet, persistent path through the local topography, feeding into the verdant depths of Shakerag Hollow where the shadows grow long and dense by mid-afternoon. Nearby, the waters of Lake Cheston mirror the shifting canopy of the hardwoods, offering a stillness that seems to suspend the passage of time. Beyond the immediate plateau, the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a softened, blue-tinted ridge against the horizon, anchoring the landscape in a vast, geologic permanence.
Sewanee maintains an economy and character defined by its deep intellectual traditions and the enduring presence of the University of the South, which serves as the primary architect of the local rhythm. Beyond the academic spires, the region is shaped by a rugged independence, with the proximity of Hawkins Cove Designated State Natural Area providing a sanctuary for those who study the intricate flora of the Cumberland Plateau. Visitors often venture toward the cooling spray of Cascade Falls to observe the raw force of water against stone, a contrast to the scholarly pursuits that define the daily life of the residents. While the Franklin-Marion State Forest guards the broader wilderness, life here remains centered on the quiet, deliberate pace of a place that values its isolation and the particular, earthy scent of damp sandstone after a summer rain.

About This Sewanee Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sewanee, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.203137, -85.92109. 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 Sewanee includes the ZIP code (37375, 37383), telephone area code (615), county seat of Franklin County (Winchester), and school district assignment (Franklin 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.
