Explore Spurgeon, 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 Spurgeon, 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 Spurgeon.
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.

Spurgeon emerges as a quiet confluence of water and earth, defined primarily by the persistent, rhythmic passage of the Hodge Branch as it carves through the local topography. It lies 7.2 miles west-southwest of Sullivan, TN (from Sullivan, TN: bearing 239°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northeast of Washington. This narrow waterway serves as the lifeblood of the immediate landscape, leading the eye toward the low-slung geography of Dunlap Hollow where the shadows gather early in the afternoon. Beyond these immediate folds in the terrain, the horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which stand as a permanent, atmospheric boundary against the eastern sky. The air here carries a heavy, terrestrial scent, especially near the banks of Boone Lake, where the damp soil and dense vegetation create a cool, suspended stillness during the humid summer months.
Spurgeon functions as a modest anchor for the surrounding agricultural interests, a place where the economy remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the land and the maintenance of local infrastructure. Evidence of this focus is visible in the upkeep of the Appalachian Fair Ball Fields, a site that marks a transition between the wilder, wooded edges of the county and the more organized spaces of human assembly. There is an understated dignity in the way the residents navigate their days, moving between the fields and the scattered homesteads with a pace that seems to honor the older, agrarian rhythms of the region. Even as modern transit lines pull at the periphery, Spurgeon maintains a singular, grounded character, defined less by its architectural monuments than by the way the light catches the moving water of the Hodge Branch at the close of a long, productive day.

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.
