How to Use This Big Creek, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Big Creek emerges from the red-clay earth as a quiet confluence of deep-rooted woodlands and sun-drenched fields. It lies 23.5 miles east-northeast of Grenada, MS (from Grenada, MS: bearing 76°T), and is situated 31.4 miles northeast of Winona. The landscape stretches in gentle, undulating swells, where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and damp soil, and the light at dusk turns the dusty roads into ribbons of burnished copper. A mile to the west, Lickup Creek carves a persistent path through the underbrush, its waters moving with a deliberate, muddy grace that mirrors the slow tempo of the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate canopy, Crescent Ridge defines the distant horizon, a subtle, jagged line against the pale sky that anchors the geography of the region.

Big Creek remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the quiet endurance of its inhabitants, who have long worked the timber and the soil of the surrounding Calhoun County Wildlife Management Area. The local economy relies on the steady, methodical harvesting of the land, a practice that has persisted through generations, leaving the small settlement to exist in a state of watchful patience. To the north, the waters of Martin Lakes offer a stillness that contrasts with the seasonal bustle of the fields, providing a quiet space where the land seems to hold its breath. Life here is defined by the small, necessary labors of the day, where the passage of time is marked not by clocks, but by the slow, seasonal turning of the woods and the persistent, quiet growth of the pines.

About This Big Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Big Creek, Mississippi. Coordinates: 33.852615, -89.411187. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Big Creek includes the ZIP code (38914), telephone area code (228), county seat of Calhoun County (Pittsboro), and school district assignment (Calhoun County School District).

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.
