Explore Fulton, 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 Fulton, 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 Fulton.
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.

Fulton rises from the humid, verdant landscape of northern Mississippi, where the earth is defined by deep clay and a heavy, fecund stillness that clings to the skin. It lies 16.8 miles east of Tupelo, MS (from Tupelo, MS: bearing 86°T), and is situated 9.6 miles east of Mooreville. The terrain here is shaped by a slow-moving, deliberate geography, where the humid air softens the edges of the horizon and the light, at the approach of dusk, turns a bruised, singular gold that seems to pool in the low-lying hollows. To the west, the subtle rise of Pea Ridge breaks the skyline, a distant, hazy reminder of the fractured geology that governs the region, while the immediate surroundings are dominated by dense woodlands and the quiet, persistent flow of Cummings Creek. Nearby, the water of Pool C remains glassy and undisturbed, mirroring the shifting clouds in a landscape that has long since traded the violence of its past for a quiet, agrarian persistence.
Fulton maintains a character defined by the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway at Fulton, a significant engineering presence that redirected the local economy toward logistics and industrial transit. This infrastructure brought a modern, mechanical pulse to a region that once relied entirely on the slow accumulation of soil and season, yet the pace of life remains tethered to the patterns of the land. The presence of Itawamba Community College serves as a vital intellectual and social anchor, drawing a steady influx of students who weave a sense of youthful anticipation through the older, more established rhythms of the commerce here. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, when the hum of machinery fades, one can feel the weight of a long, local history—a story told in the textures of brick and the unhurried way the residents navigate the streets of Fulton, where the future is measured not by sudden change, but by the steady, reliable turn of the calendar.

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.
