How to Use This Telford, Tennessee Map

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

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 Telford, Tennessee

Telford is a locality in Washington County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 909. The population density is 142.3 people per km². Telford is located at 36.2490°N, 82.5451°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 37690.

Telford occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, winding course of Little Limestone Creek dictates the rhythm of the local topography. It lies 5.9 miles south-southwest of Washington, TN (from Washington, TN: bearing 194°T), and is situated 5.1 miles southwest of Jonesborough. The landscape around Telford is characterized by a series of low, earth-toned rises that suggest the ancient, slow-motion upheaval of the earth, leading the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon. Moisture often hangs heavy in the air here, particularly in the mornings, when a thin veil of gray mist clings to the low-lying pastures and settles over the reflective surface of Waller Pond. To the nearby Sand Valley, the terrain dips into a fertile basin that has long defined the character of the soil, offering a muted, agrarian beauty that changes color with the slow turn of the seasons.

Telford maintains a legacy rooted in the steady, patient work of the land, where the local economy has historically leaned into the quiet productivity of small-scale farming and regional trade. The presence of the Henderson Swamp Public Hunting Area serves as a reminder of the wilder, uncultivated character that persists just beyond the managed fence lines of the working fields. Life in Telford moves with a deliberate, unforced cadence, reflecting a history of settlement that values independence and a deep familiarity with the immediate surroundings. Even as time moves forward, the residents maintain a connection to the fundamental patterns of the landscape, finding a distinct, practical grace in the way the light catches the drying grasses and the steady, unspectacular flow of the creek.

About This Telford Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Telford, Tennessee. Coordinates: 36.248994, -82.545148. 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 Telford includes the ZIP code (37690), telephone area code (731), county seat of Washington County (Jonesborough), and school district assignment (Washington 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.
