Explore Batesville, Mississippi, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Batesville, 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 Batesville.
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.

Batesville commands a quiet presence where the northern edge of the hills meets the flat, fertile reach of the broader landscape. It lies 24.5 miles west of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 261°T), and is situated 8.8 miles south of Sardis. The waters of Sand Creek carve a path through the earth nearby, tracing a silver line across the soil that has long defined the local topography. To the east, the horizon lifts toward the gentle rise of Elmers Hill, providing a subtle anchor for the view under the expansive sky. Residents often find their way to American Legion Park, a local space that offers a reprieve from the heat of the afternoon sun. The terrain here stays firmly rooted in the interior, far removed from the shifting edges of the world, defined instead by the steady accumulation of silt and time.
Batesville grew from a junction of necessity, blossoming where the movement of goods necessitated a place for labor and trade to congregate. The local economy finds its pulse in a mixture of manufacturing and the rhythmic cycle of agricultural production that governs the surrounding fields. Industrial facilities stand as markers of a transition into the modern era, providing a livelihood for those who value the stability of this inland soil. History here is marked by the slow, deliberate pace of commerce that has sustained families for generations. The influence of the regional fiber and the dedication of its workforce continue to drive the engines of industry, ensuring that the wheels of production keep turning. Prosperity is measured in the reliability of these trades, which remain the backbone of daily life.
Batesville carries a character forged in the deliberate, thoughtful cadence of the Deep South, where the air feels heavy with the weight of unhurried conversations. Enid Lake rests only a short distance away, serving as a sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of open water or a brief escape into nature’s quietude. The local culture honors a legacy of resilience, reflected in the way the community gathers for festivals and shared seasonal events that anchor the calendar. While the region is famously associated with the literary echoes of the Delta, the people here maintain a grounded perspective, focused on the immediate beauty of their surroundings. Famous individuals like the blues musician Mississippi John Hurt have ties to the broader region, leaving a melodic imprint on the collective memory of the area. The spirit of the place remains persistent, captured in the simple, honest way the light fades over the fields at the end of a long day.

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.
