How to Use This Silver Point, Tennessee Map

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

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.

Silver Point occupies a quiet intersection of high ground where the earth yields to the limestone-fed currents of Second Creek. It lies 9.2 miles north-northeast of DeKalb, TN (from DeKalb, TN: bearing 28°T), and is situated 14.3 miles west-southwest of Putnam. The landscape is defined by the deep, verdant folds of the Highland Rim, where the soil holds the damp chill of dawn long after the sun has climbed above the thickets. To the east, the hazy, blue-tinted silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains anchors the horizon, a distant reminder of the rugged spine that shapes the state. Two miles away, the expansive waters of Center Hill Lake pool in the lowlands, reflecting a sky that often turns the color of bruised plums as evening settles over the timberline.

Silver Point emerged as a point of transit, a place where the movement of goods and people across the rugged interior necessitated a steady hand and a patient eye. The regional economy remains tied to the rhythms of the land, sustained by those who work the timber and the small-scale agricultural plots that define the surrounding acreage. Nearby, the Center Hill Recreation Area provides a deliberate space for the quietude of the woods, while the distant, thundering descent of Burgess Falls marks the dramatic edge of the local watershed. Life in Silver Point follows the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, shaped by the proximity of Burton Hollow and the persistent, quiet flow of the creek that continues to carve its way through the bedrock.
