Explore Collins, 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 Collins, 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 Collins.
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.

Collins unfolds across a landscape of pine-timbered ridges and sandy soil, defined by the steady, amber-tinted flow of Okatoma Creek as it winds through the verdant undergrowth. It lies 25.2 miles west of Laurel, MS (from Laurel, MS: bearing 262°T), and is situated 18.9 miles south-southeast of Magee. The atmosphere here is thick with the scent of damp earth and resinous needles, where the afternoon light filters through the canopy in long, hazy shafts that catch the dust motes above the forest floor. Beyond the town’s immediate perimeter, the terrain leans into the subtle, undulating topography of the region, leading toward the deeper, shadowed folds of Sullivans Hollow or the distant, hazy silhouette of Buffalo Hill. The humidity hangs heavy in the summer, pressing against the skin like a warm, damp velvet, yet the nights often bring a sudden, crisp clarity that silences the cicadas and leaves the woods in a profound, watchful stillness.
Collins grew from the intersection of timber lines and rail tracks, developing an economy once dictated by the sawmills that hummed with the relentless rhythm of industrial expansion. That legacy of labor persists in the quiet determination of the local storefronts and the modest, sturdy architecture that defines the central streets, far removed from the manicured distractions of the City Of Magee Sportsplex. Life moves in a deliberate cadence, tied to the seasonal shifts of the pine forests and the occasional rise of the creek, which marks the passage of time more reliably than any clock. People here maintain a measured pace, observing the world with a guarded, polite intensity that reflects a history built on self-reliance and the stubborn productivity of the inland plains.

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.
