How to Use This Georgetown, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Georgetown remains a quiet convergence of pine-shadowed earth and the persistent, humid heat of the Mississippi interior. It lies 21.8 miles south-southeast of Byram, MS (from Byram, MS: bearing 167°T), and is situated 13.8 miles southeast of Crystal Springs. The landscape unfolds in a series of gentle swells and depressions, where the soil holds a deep, rusted iron hue and the vegetation thickens into dense stands of timber. A mile to the west, Copiah Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the silt, its dark water moving with a sluggish, deliberate pace that defines the low-lying hollows of the region. On the far horizon, the faint, hazy suggestion of Heater Ridge provides a distant boundary to the sky, while the local air often carries the heavy, sweet scent of damp earth and pine needles. Four miles away, the quiet surface of Little Lake mirrors the shifting clouds, offering a stillness that seems to permeate the very fiber of the surrounding woods.

Georgetown retains the character of a place built upon the slow, steady labor of the land and the quiet endurance of its residents. The economy here has long been tethered to the rhythms of the forest and the small-scale cultivation that defines the rural interior, leaving a legacy of sturdy, utilitarian construction and wide, unhurried roads. Thirteen miles away, Parks And Recreation Park provides a rare, managed expanse of local greenery, though the true spirit of the area is found in the scattered, weathered structures that have stood through the decades. Life in Georgetown proceeds without the clamor of the outside world, governed instead by the changing light that filters through the canopy and the seasonal shifts in the humidity. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by grand monuments, but by the slow growth of the timber and the way the afternoon shadows lengthen across the dust of the local lanes.

About This Georgetown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Georgetown, Mississippi. Coordinates: 31.871548, -90.16453. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
