Explore Courtland, 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 Courtland, 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 Courtland.
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.

Courtland occupies a quiet expanse of North Mississippi where the terrain shifts from the flat, fertile reaches of the alluvial plains into the subtle, weathered rises that roll toward the horizon. It lies 25.7 miles west-southwest of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 250°T), and is situated 4.9 miles south of Batesville. Peters Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil just a mile from the center, its banks shaded by dense hardwoods that hold the humidity of the afternoon long after the sun has begun to slant. Ten miles to the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of Oak Ridge marks the limit of the view, while the landscape closer to home remains defined by the slow, seasonal pulse of agriculture and the deep, persistent green of kudzu reclaiming the edges of abandoned rail lines. When the light dies, the air thickens with a heavy, sweet scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt, a stillness that seems to press against the windows of the houses lining the main thoroughfares.
Courtland stands as a quiet witness to the agrarian shifts that have long dictated the rhythm of life in this corner of the state. The economy, once tethered tightly to the cycles of cotton, now finds its pace set by the smaller, more private concerns of local enterprise and the proximity of Enid Lake, which serves as a sprawling recreational anchor five miles away. Visitors and residents alike gravitate toward the waters of Enid Lake, where the vast, artificial basin creates a cooling influence on the summer heat and provides a space for the quiet pursuit of solitude. The character of Courtland remains anchored in the remnants of its nineteenth-century architecture, where sturdy brick facades endure beneath the weight of years, reflecting a history of endurance that persists despite the changing tides of the modern world.

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.
