Explore Tennessee Ridge, 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 Tennessee Ridge, 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 Tennessee Ridge.
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.

Tennessee Ridge reveals itself through the steady, singular pulse of Cane Creek as it carves a path through the landscape, defining the low-lying terrain before the earth begins its slow, deliberate climb toward the crest of Arlington Ridge. It lies 3.8 miles east of Stewart, TN (from Stewart, TN: bearing 99°T), and is situated 18.9 miles west of Marion. The horizon here is dominated by the quiet upward reach of the land, where the shadow of Spring Hollow gathers the cool, damp air of late afternoon, settling into the limestone folds of the earth like a held breath. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain transitions into thick, timbered corridors that lead toward the protected expanse of Stewart State Forest, where the canopy creates an intricate, shifting architecture of light and shadow. The sky above Tennessee Ridge often takes on a pale, expansive quality, unburdened by the heavy haze of urban centers, allowing the transition from day to dusk to feel like a profound, gradual deepening of color.
Economic life in Tennessee Ridge has long been tethered to the rhythms of the land, moving in concert with the seasonal cycle of the surrounding woodlands and the agricultural heritage of the region. While the proximity to the expansive waters of Kentucky Lake provides a distant, shimmering boundary to the west, the daily existence here remains grounded in the tangible reality of the timber industry and the quiet, persistent work of local trade. The presence of Stewart State Forest serves as both a natural buffer and a defining feature, preserving a landscape that has remained largely unchanged by the rapid development seen in other corners of the state. Life here unfolds with a deliberate, measured pace, where the sound of wind moving through the trees along the ridge lines and the persistent, low-frequency hum of rural industry form the primary soundtrack of the day, reflecting a community that values the weight of its own quietude.

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.
