How to Use This Big Point, Mississippi Map

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

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 Point emerges from the flat, pine-studded plains as a quiet expanse of humid earth and tall, slender timber. It lies 12.5 miles north-northeast of Moss Point, MS (from Moss Point, MS: bearing 14°T), and is situated 15.9 miles north-northeast of Pascagoula. The landscape here is defined by the slow movement of Lyons Creek, which snakes through the undergrowth only a mile away, feeding the thirsty root systems of the surrounding woods. To the north, the terrain dips toward the low-lying basin known as The Neck, where the air hangs heavy and thick with the scent of damp soil and pine resin. On days when the sun slants low, the light catches the dust motes in the air, turning the horizon into a muted, hazy gray that obscures the distant silhouette of Easen Hill. The moisture from the nearby Black Creek Cooling Pond provides a constant, subtle shift in the humidity, influencing the way the long shadows stretch across the fields as the afternoon wanes into a deep, velvet dusk.

History in Big Point persists in the quiet endurance of the families who have worked this land since the early days of timber harvest and localized agriculture. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the sprawling tracts of the Farm Service Agency Interest Of Ms, where the land is managed with a steady, pragmatic focus on preservation and resource. Life in Big Point moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, dictated more by the cycles of the seasons than by the frantic pulse of the outside world. There is a particular stillness here, a sense that the residents are merely tending to a legacy that predates the modern machinery of the surrounding industrial corridors. The character of the place is found in the porch lights flickering on at twilight and the persistent, low-frequency hum of insects that rises from the brush, reminding anyone who lingers that the land is very much alive and entirely indifferent to the passage of time.
