How to Use This Walling, Tennessee Map

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

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 Walling, Tennessee

Walling is a locality in White County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Walling is located at 35.8081°N, 85.5994°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 38587.

Walling occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, limestone-cutting force of the Caney Fork, which carves a deep, serpentine path through the surrounding earth. It lies 8.6 miles southeast of Jefferson, TN (from Jefferson, TN: bearing 134°T), and is situated 8.9 miles south-southwest of White. The terrain here is characterized by dense hardwood forests and jagged bluffs that drop sharply toward the riverbed, creating a topography that feels ancient and undisturbed. Sunlight often catches the spray of Great Falls just two miles away, casting a persistent, humid haze over the vegetation that clings to the damp rock faces. On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Cumberland Mountains defines the horizon, a faint, jagged indigo line that anchors the view to the east. The air carries a heavy, sweet scent of damp moss and decaying leaves, particularly near the banks where the water runs clear and cold against the bedrock.

Walling maintains a quiet existence tied to the rhythm of the land and the nearby presence of Rock Island, a SP that draws visitors to the rugged confluence of local waterways. The economy has historically leaned into the natural bounty of the region, shifting from early timber and milling interests to a present defined by small-scale agriculture and the stewardship of the surrounding wilderness. Center Hill Lake sits only two miles from the center of activity, serving as a primary influence on the local pace of life and the seasonal influx of those seeking the quiet solitude of the basin. While the bustle of larger regional centers remains far removed, the daily life in Walling is colored by the steady, unrelenting movement of the Caney Fork, which has dictated the movement of people and resources through this hollow for generations.

About This Walling Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Walling, Tennessee. Coordinates: 35.808123, -85.599423. 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 Walling includes the ZIP code (38587), telephone area code (423), county seat of White County (Sparta), 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.
