Explore Bogue Chitto, 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 Bogue Chitto, 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 Bogue Chitto.
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.

Bogue Chitto emerges from the pine-thickened landscape of the interior, where the earth holds the deep, rust-colored stain of iron and damp needles. It lies 34.9 miles north-northwest of Meridian, MS (from Meridian, MS: bearing 338°T), and is situated 11.5 miles east-northeast of Philadelphia. The terrain maintains a steady, unremarkable elevation that slopes away from the distant silhouette of Potters Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a haze of bruised purple during the late afternoon. Close to the settlement, the dense canopy is broken only by the narrow, persistent winding of Owl Creek, a waterway that cuts through the loamy soil with a quiet, persistent gravity. The air here carries a heavy, humid weight, thick with the scent of crushed pine resin and the damp musk of the forest floor, creating a stillness that seems to thicken as the light fades into a bruised, gray twilight.
Agriculture and timber have long defined the lifeblood of Bogue Chitto, grounding its economy in the stubborn, slow-growing wealth of the woods and the seasonal cycles of the fields. The proximity of Nanih Waiya, a SCA just a few miles away, serves as a reminder of the ancient, layered human presence that predates the arrival of modern industry and the rail lines that once dictated the growth of the region. Residents often look toward Humphreys Lake for a respite from the summer heat, finding in its quiet expanse a mirror for the surrounding oaks and the relentless, slow-moving pace of the day. Life here is measured by the changing color of the foliage and the rhythmic hum of local commerce, a persistent, unadorned existence that remains tethered to the slow pulse of the inland earth.

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.
