How to Use This Benton, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Benton occupies a quiet stretch of earth where the landscape swells into low, persistent ridges that catch the heavy, golden light of late afternoon. It lies 8.7 miles east-southeast of Yazoo City, MS (from Yazoo City, MS: bearing 103°T), and is situated 19.6 miles northwest of Canton. Walesheba Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the heavy silt, its waters moving with a deliberate, muddy patience that dictates the slow pace of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate canopy, the terrain opens into fields where the soil retains the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the western horizon. Eight miles away, the quiet expanse of Unknown Park offers a sanctuary of unmanaged thickets and pine, while Catfish Lake sits thirteen miles to the distance, a singular, still mirror reflecting the expansive Mississippi sky.

Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of Benton, a tradition etched into the furrows of the fields and the weathered wood of the older structures that line the road. The economy here is measured in the seasonal turn of crops and the steady, unsentimental labor required to coax a living from the earth. Local history lingers in the gaps between the modern outbuildings and the remnants of older architecture, suggesting a narrative composed of long summers and the persistent, quiet endurance of those who stay. Life in Benton moves with the predictable, heavy gravity of a pendulum, indifferent to the frantic speed of the outside world, favoring instead the deep, resonant silence that settles over the plains when the day finally yields to the dark.
