How to Use This Fernwood, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Fernwood occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Little Tangipahoa River carves a winding, muddy path through the dense, humid woodland. It lies 4.0 miles south of McComb, MS (from McComb, MS: bearing 177°T), and is situated 3.0 miles north of Magnolia. The landscape is defined by this persistent waterway, which draws moisture into the air to feed the heavy curtains of Spanish moss draping the oaks. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thick, golden shafts, illuminating a terrain of modest rises and hollows that slope toward the damp, fertile earth of the bottomlands. Only eighteen miles to the northwest, the silhouette of Hope Hill breaks the horizon, a distant reminder of the varied topography that defines this inland region. Nearby, the quiet expanse of Lake Tangipahoa rests four miles away, its surface reflecting the shifting gray clouds that often congregate over the pines before a summer rain.

Fernwood carries the weight of a long industrial legacy, having been shaped by the rhythmic clatter of sawmills and the steady labor required to harvest the surrounding timber. The economy, once tethered tightly to the processing of forest goods, now moves with the deliberate, measured pace of a place that values its own solitude. Residents often gravitate toward the greenery of Baertown Park, where the local vegetation thrives in the deep, rich soil that has supported generations of families. Life in Fernwood unfolds in the soft, blurred edges of the afternoon, where the hum of insects and the distant rush of the Little Tangipahoa River provide a constant, low-frequency music to the day. It is a place where the history of manual industry lingers in the weathered wood of older structures, standing as a quiet acknowledgment of the hands that cleared the brush and built the streets.
