Explore Bethlehem, 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 Bethlehem, 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 Bethlehem.
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.

Bethlehem occupies a quiet intersection of northern Mississippi where the heavy, humid air seems to slow the very passage of the sun. It lies 18.3 miles northeast of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 37°T), and is situated 19.1 miles west-northwest of New Albany. The landscape around Bethlehem defines itself through a persistent, verdant density, marked by the encroaching shadows of the Holly Springs National Forest that brushes against the local perimeter. Potts Creek carves a thin, reflective vein through the silt and clay of the earth, providing a persistent moisture that feeds the kudzu vines as they climb toward the tree line. Only twenty-eight miles to the east, the hazy, muted silhouette of Cemetery Ridge anchors the horizon, offering a distant sense of permanence to a terrain that otherwise feels fluid and shifting under the weight of summer heat.
Hardwood stands and scattered agricultural plots define the economic pulse of Bethlehem, where the labor of the soil remains a quiet, daily rhythm passed down through generations. A short distance away, the expansive, still surface of Sardis Lake catches the amber light of late afternoon, acting as a calm reservoir for the surrounding woodland. The history of the area is not written in grand monuments, but in the way the local architecture keeps low to the ground, adapting to the stubborn humidity and the long, quiet afternoons that define the region. Life in Bethlehem moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the land over the frantic pace of the modern world.

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.
