How to Use This Bassfield, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Bassfield defines the landscape where the pine-scented air of the interior plains meets the slow, deliberate current of the Black Creek. It lies 29.0 miles west-northwest of Hattiesburg, MS (from Hattiesburg, MS: bearing 294°T), and is situated 17.9 miles north-northeast of Columbia. The terrain here holds a quiet gravity, characterized by earth that ranges from deep, iron-rich red to a sandy, pale loam, shaped by the persistent drainage of the local water table. In the late afternoon, the light filters through the dense canopy of hardwoods and longleaf pines, casting long, amber shadows that soften the edges of the fields and clearings. While the horizon remains flat and expansive, the land feels settled and ancient, a place where the stillness of the woods is broken only by the occasional rustle of wildlife moving toward the cool, shaded banks of the creek.

Bassfield occupies a space shaped by the legacy of the timber industry and the steady, enduring work of local agriculture. The rhythm of the days here is dictated by the turning seasons rather than the frantic pace of the outside world, as residents maintain a connection to the soil that has sustained families for generations. For those seeking the quiet solitude of the natural world, the path toward the Unknown Field provides a reprieve from the modern bustle, offering a glimpse of the region’s untamed character. Though the nearest horizon-marker, Hub Hill, sits far enough away to remain a hazy suggestion of elevation, and the waters of Lake Columbia are a distant destination, the life of Bassfield remains firmly rooted in the immediate, tangible reality of its own woods, roads, and persistent, slow-moving streams.
