How to Use This Summertown, Tennessee Map

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

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 Summertown, Tennessee

Summertown is a locality in Hamilton County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 856. The population density is 164.3 people per km². Summertown is located at 35.4344°N, 87.3085°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 37377, 38483.

Summertown endures as a quiet convergence of limestone-rich earth and dense, temperate woodland. It lies 3.9 miles north of Red Bank, TN (from Red Bank, TN: bearing 353°T), and is situated 8.5 miles north of Chattanooga. Little Falling Water Creek traces a path through the landscape, its current carving a subtle rhythm into the soil long before the waters reach the nearby depression of Pickett Gulf. To the west, the canopy thickens where Prentice Cooper State Forest guards the horizon, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a permanent, atmospheric boundary to the east. At the precipice of the local terrain, the sudden, rhythmic drop of Rockstack Falls offers a sharp contrast to the otherwise leveled, fertile ground where the light at dusk settles in heavy, golden layers against the bark of ancient oaks.

Summertown carries the weight of a legacy rooted in the slow, persistent cultivation of the Middle Tennessee plateau. Mabbitt Springs Park serves as a focal point for the locality, providing a quiet space that anchors the daily life of those who work the surrounding agricultural tracts or commute toward regional trade hubs. The economy remains tethered to the land’s yield and the steady, unpretentious industry of its residents, who move through their days with a deliberate pace that acknowledges the seasons rather than the clock. Even the proximity of Read Lake offers a stillness that reflects the character of the inhabitants, whose lives remain defined by the modest, enduring cycle of the harvest and the deep, quiet gravity of the interior woods.

About This Summertown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Summertown, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.434421, -87.30846. 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 Summertown includes the ZIP code (37377, 38483), telephone area code (615, 901), county seat of Hamilton County (Chattanooga), and school district assignment (Lawrence 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.
