How to Use This Calhoun, Mississippi Map

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

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.

About Calhoun, Mississippi

Calhoun is a locality in Jones County, Mississippi, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,533. Calhoun is located at 31.6960°N, 89.2053°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 39443, 39440.

Calhoun sustains a quiet presence amidst the red clay and thickets of the Mississippi interior, where the land yields to the slow, persistent creep of kudzu and the weight of humid air. It lies 4.4 miles west of Laurel, MS (from Laurel, MS: bearing 272°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north of Ellisville. The terrain is defined by a series of low-slung elevations that ripple toward the horizon, providing a backdrop where the stillness is interrupted only by the seasonal migration of insects or the occasional rustle of hardwoods. Boler Branch carves a narrow, serpentine path through the brush just a mile away, its waters often sluggish and dark under the heavy canopy of pine and oak. Indian Springs Lake sits equally close, a quiet basin reflecting the shifting clouds that drift over the expanse, while the distant silhouette of Negro Ridge marks the boundary of the horizon, grounding the perspective of the landscape in a vast, earthen permanence.

Calhoun carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian history, a legacy written in the remnants of old field lines and the endurance of families who have worked this soil for generations. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, shifting from the traditional labor of the fields to the modest, steady commerce that keeps the local pulse beating. Residents often find their way to Cotton Mill Park, a quiet expanse four miles distant that serves as a communal anchor for a populace accustomed to the measured pace of inland life. There is a particular clarity to the light here at dusk, when the shadows stretch thin across the fields and the heat of the afternoon finally surrenders to the cooling earth, revealing a town that persists not through grand gestures, but through the simple, stubborn continuity of its daily work.

About This Calhoun Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Calhoun, Mississippi. Coordinates: 31.695995, -89.205336. 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 Calhoun includes the ZIP code (39443, 39440), telephone area code (601), county seat of Jones County (Ellisville), and school district assignment.

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.
