Explore Flowood, 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 Flowood, 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 Flowood.
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.

Flowood emerges from the landscape as a convergence of modern development and the enduring patterns of the southern interior. It lies 2.5 miles north of Pearl, MS (from Pearl, MS: bearing 350°T), and is situated 2.8 miles east-northeast of Jackson. Neely Creek traces a quiet path through the terrain, its banks offering a subtle relief against the broader expanses of the local geography. Mayes Lake sits only a mile away, providing a reflective surface that catches the golden, heavy light of late afternoon. To the west, the subtle depression of Bald Prairie defines the horizon, while Beech Ridge remains a distant, hazy silhouette far to the north. Flynt Park provides a necessary green threshold for the residents, anchoring the immediate environment in a space of preserved, quiet growth.
Flowood transitioned from its early agricultural roots into a hub of commerce that defines the contemporary economic landscape of the region. The expansion of medical facilities and retail corridors has transformed the local workspace, drawing a steady stream of enterprise to the area. While much of the infrastructure reflects the industrious nature of the current era, the underlying soil remains deeply connected to the legacy of the surrounding plains. Investors and families alike have shaped the expansion, ensuring that the growth of the economy mirrors the steady, deliberate pace of the surrounding countryside. This evolution has turned the once-rural expanse into a focal point for regional activity and professional development.
Flowood maintains a character that balances the rapid pulse of its businesses with the lingering, humid stillness of the Mississippi interior. The atmosphere here is marked by a specific clarity at dusk, when the shadows stretch thin and long across the pavement and fields. Community gatherings often center around the local park systems, where the rhythm of daily life slows to match the movement of the clouds above. While the area does not claim a lengthy list of internationally recognized figures, the residents contribute to a shared identity defined by hard work and a quiet pride in their surroundings. Visitors might find that the true essence of the place lies not in grand monuments, but in the way the twilight settles over the trees and the quiet, persistent vitality of the streets.

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.
