How to Use This Mound, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Mound occupies a flat, expansive stretch of alluvial earth where the horizon pulls the sky down toward the heavy, humid soil. It lies 8.6 miles west of Vicksburg, MS (from Vicksburg, MS: bearing 264°T), and is situated 10.6 miles east-southeast of Tallulah. The landscape remains dominated by the relentless presence of the Mississippi River, which flows only two miles away, its dark, silt-laden water carving the character of the surrounding plains. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Rattlesnake Ridge marks the distant boundary of the terrain, while the quiet surface of Big Lake sits just two miles from the center, reflecting the amber light of late afternoon. Between these landmarks, the land stretches out in muted shades of green and brown, defined by the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons and the thick, atmospheric haze that settles over the fields at dusk.

Economic life in Mound turns upon the seasonal rhythms of agriculture, as the fertile ground supports a long history of cultivation that has shaped the lives of families for generations. While the modern world moves quickly past on the nearby transit arteries, such as the I-20 Rest Area, the local pace remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent, humid heat. History here is quiet, etched into the rows of crops and the remnants of older homesteads that stand as solitary witnesses to the passage of time. Life in Mound persists with a steady, grounded grace, defined not by grand monuments, but by the honest labor of the fields and the deep, silent influence of the waters that have long defined the geography of the basin.
