How to Use This Whiteside, Tennessee Map

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

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 Whiteside, Tennessee

Whiteside is a locality in Marion County, Tennessee, United States. It is a small community with a population of 274. The population density is 26.7 people per km². Whiteside is located at 34.9946°N, 85.4868°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP codes: 37396, 37419.

Whiteside occupies a quiet, singular convergence of limestone and shadow where the earth folds into the deep basin of Murphy Hollow. It lies 11.4 miles west-southwest of Chattanooga, TN (from Chattanooga, TN: bearing 249°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west-northwest of Chattanooga Valley. Murphy Hollow Creek carves a persistent, silver path through the landscape, its waters feeding the quiet intensity of the surrounding woods as the light shifts from a sharp, morning clarity to the heavy, muted gold of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate reach of the hollow, the land rises in stubborn, layered ridges that define the horizon, maintaining a geological stillness that feels impervious to the passing of years. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp earth and cooling stone, a sensory reminder that Whiteside exists in a space defined more by the slow work of water than the clamor of the modern world.

History in Whiteside remains etched in the quiet persistence of its inhabitants, who have long looked toward the land for sustenance and structure. While the economy once leaned heavily upon the rhythms of extraction and rail, the present day favors a slower, more deliberate pace, with the proximity of Nickajack Lake and the expansive reaches of the Cummings Cove Wildlife Management Area offering a sanctuary for those who value the quietude of the Tennessee backwoods. Travelers seeking the rugged character of the region often venture toward the distant, hazy blue of the Appalachian Mountains, or find a more immediate connection to the terrain at Laurel Falls and the winding path of the Skyuka Trail. Life in Whiteside moves with the unforced cadence of the seasons, a place where the collective memory of the hollow remains as vivid as the creek bed itself.

About This Whiteside Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Whiteside, Tennessee. Coordinates: 34.994556, -85.486845. 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 Whiteside includes the ZIP code (37396, 37419), telephone area code (615), county seat of Marion County (Jasper), and school district assignment (Marion 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.
