How to Use This Union, Tennessee Map

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

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 Union, Tennessee

Union is a locality in Roane County, Tennessee, United States. Union is located at 35.7128°N, 85.7011°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 37866, 37323, 37110.

Union asserts itself as a quiet intersection of limestone earth and stubborn vegetation, defined primarily by the slow, seasonal pulse of the Roberts Branch as it carves a path through the lowland soil. It lies 9.2 miles east-northeast of Roane, TN (from Roane, TN: bearing 60°T), and is situated 5.1 miles east-northeast of Kingston. The landscape here is characterized by the modest relief of Bear Creek Valley, where the morning light often lingers in the hollows, casting long, thin shadows against the scrub brush and the hardy, native grasses of the Crowder Cemetery Barrens Designated State Natural Area. In the far distance, the jagged silhouettes of the Cumberland Mountains provide a permanent, hazy boundary to the horizon, grounding the immediate vicinity in a rugged, inland geology that feels entirely removed from the bustle of the state’s larger urban centers. Only a mile away, the surface of Whiteoak Lake remains a dark, still mirror, reflecting the changing canopy of the deciduous trees that stretch toward the denser timber of the Morgan State Forest.

Union maintains a rhythm dictated by the cycles of the soil and the legacy of families who have worked this land for generations, their histories preserved in the quiet markers of the local barrens. The economy remains tethered to the land’s capacity for cultivation and the steady maintenance of regional infrastructure, eschewing the rapid, frantic pace of industrial expansion in favor of a deliberate, agrarian continuity. Life here proceeds without the fanfare of modern diversions, centered on the simple interaction between the resident and the immediate environment, where the air smells faintly of damp loam and cooling stone after a summer storm. Whether tending to the fields or navigating the narrow roads that trace the contours of the valley, the people of Union move with the quiet gravity of those who understand that the most meaningful work is that which remains visible, sustained by the enduring, quiet persistence of the landscape itself.

About This Union Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Union, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.712847, -85.701091. 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 Union includes the ZIP code (37866, 37323, 37110), telephone area code (615, 865), county seat of Roane County (Kingston), and school district assignment.

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.
