Explore Calhoun City, 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 Calhoun City, 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 Calhoun City.
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.

Calhoun City emerges from the deep, humid interior of Mississippi, anchored by the persistent, winding passage of Hurricane Creek. It lies 29.1 miles east-northeast of Grenada, MS (from Grenada, MS: bearing 78°T), and is situated 18.2 miles west of Houston. The landscape here is characterized by a low, rhythmic topography where the earth rises in soft swells, eventually yielding to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Beasley Hills on the horizon. Moisture hangs heavy in the air, clinging to the thick woodland and the dense, climbing greenery that seeks to reclaim the edges of every fence line. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Martin Lakes mirror the shifting amber light of late afternoon, providing a still counterpoint to the restless movement of the nearby creek. The soil, dark and demanding, dictates the pace of the day, holding the heat long after the sun has retreated behind the canopy.
Calhoun City remains defined by its long-standing connection to the timber industry and the persistent labor of the fields, which have shaped the local economy for generations. The legacy of these trades is visible in the weathered architecture and the utilitarian layout of the streets, where the work of the past informs the modest commerce of the present. Beyond the immediate reach of the storefronts, the Calhoun County Wildlife Management Area serves as a vital expanse of preserved terrain, maintaining the wilder character of the region. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, rooted in a history of agrarian resilience and a quiet, watchful observation of the seasons. Residents move through the day with an innate understanding of the land’s fluctuations, finding a singular, understated beauty in the way the shadows stretch across the fields at dusk.

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.
