Explore Silerton, 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 Silerton, 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 Silerton.
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.

Silerton maintains a quiet presence amidst the verdant, rolling landscape of western Tennessee, where the low-slung horizon is defined by the persistent, winding course of Piney Creek. It lies 7.1 miles northwest of Robertson, TN (from Robertson, TN: bearing 316°T), and is situated 9.6 miles southwest of Chester. This waterway carves a slow path through the clay-rich soil, its banks shaded by oaks and hickories that bridge the gap toward the nearby Chickasaw State Forest & Wildlife Management Area. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the fields and turning the surface of the creek into a ribbon of tarnished silver. Far to the east, the faint, hazy silhouette of Winding Ridge occasionally haunts the skyline, serving as a distant reminder of the varied topography that gives this inland region its character.
Silerton serves as a modest anchor for a rural economy deeply rooted in the seasonal rhythms of agriculture and timber. The proximity to Chickasaw State Forest has historically shaped the local way of life, fostering a culture that values the stewardship of the surrounding woodlands and the quiet utility of the land. Residents often venture toward Lake Placid to find a stillness that mirrors the unhurried pace of the afternoons, or they traverse the Fern Loop Nature Trail to observe the subtle shifts in the flora that mark the passing of the year. Beyond the immediate fields, the influence of the wider region’s history—a blend of agrarian struggle and resilience—remains etched into the very layout of the roads and the enduring simplicity of the architecture, grounding the identity of Silerton in the honest labor of its people.

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.
