Explore Bolivar, 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 Bolivar, 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 Bolivar.
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.

Bolivar emerges from the expansive, level plains of the Delta as a quiet study in persistence and flat, fertile horizon. It lies 17.3 miles north of Greenville, MS (from Greenville, MS: bearing 2°T), and is situated 19.7 miles west-southwest of Cleveland. Deer Creek traces a meandering path through the landscape, its slow, dark waters reflecting the heavy, humid sky and the dense thickets that line its banks. To the east, the silhouette of Egypt Ridge breaks the monotony of the plain, standing as a distant, earthen sentinel against the sun-bleached fields. Lake Bolivar sits as a still, glassy centerpiece to the immediate surroundings, holding the light of the late afternoon in its shallow basin. The air here holds a weight of damp earth and growing things, a stillness that seems to amplify the rustle of leaves and the distant, rhythmic hum of agricultural machinery.
Bolivar carries a history etched into the deep, dark soil that has long dictated the patterns of labor and life for generations. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the fields, where the cultivation of cotton and grains provides the primary pulse of commerce. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the Delta Experimental Forest stands sixteen miles away, representing a legacy of land management and scientific inquiry into the region's botanical diversity. Residents often look toward Choctaw Island, a nearby wildlife area that preserves a pocket of the natural world, offering a reprieve from the structured order of the surrounding farmlands. Life in Bolivar unfolds with a deliberate, measured pace, defined by the seasonal cycles of the earth and a quiet, enduring connection to the landscape that has shaped its identity for over a century.

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.
