Explore Corinth, 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 Corinth, 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 Corinth.
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.

Corinth anchors a stretch of terrain where the land hums with the quiet persistence of inland soil, positioned far from any restless tide. It lies 47.9 miles north-northeast of Tupelo, MS (from Tupelo, MS: bearing 12°T), and is situated 4.0 miles west of Farmington. Elam Creek carves a persistent path through the local landscape, its waters moving with a deliberate, unhurried grace through the greenery. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the silhouette of Bennett Ridge rises against the skyline, providing a firm boundary to the horizon. Residents often find a moment of stillness at John Street Park, where the afternoon light filters through the canopy to settle on the grass. A short distance away, the quiet surface of Liddon Lake reflects the shifting clouds, offering a tranquil counterpoint to the distant, deeper folds of Lewis Hollow.
Corinth emerged from the necessity of iron and steam, growing where the convergence of rail lines dictated the movement of goods and people. The local economy evolved from these early transport routes, shifting gradually toward a mix of manufacturing and regional trade that sustains the modern pace of life. Factories and small businesses continue to utilize the transit infrastructure that once defined the area, keeping the rhythm of labor steady throughout the work week. The soil here has long supported a quiet industriousness, favoring the production of goods that travel outward across the interior plains. People move through their daily tasks with a focus that honors the mechanical heritage of the region, maintaining a persistent, pragmatic energy. This commitment to production remains the invisible backbone of the daily routine, grounding the inhabitants in a shared sense of purpose.
Corinth possesses a cultural character defined by the weight of its complex past and the resilience of its residents. The architecture reflects a time of transition, with brick structures standing as silent witnesses to the echoes of national conflict that once centered here. Visitors often explore the local interpretive centers to understand the strategic importance the area held during the mid-nineteenth century. Among those who have shaped the national consciousness, the influential journalist and television personality Roy Blount Jr. draws his sensibilities from the deep roots and distinct vernacular of this region. Community life finds expression in seasonal gatherings and local festivals that bring neighbors together to acknowledge their shared history. Life here proceeds with a deliberate cadence, where the dignity of the individual is measured by a long-standing tradition of hospitality and quiet, thoughtful observation.

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.
