Explore Glen Allan, 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 Glen Allan, 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 Glen Allan.
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.

Glen Allan occupies a stretch of the Mississippi Delta where the earth lies flat and heavy, defined by an horizon that pulls the sky down to meet the dark, fertile soil. It lies 26.7 miles south of Greenville, MS (from Greenville, MS: bearing 176°T), and is situated 17.2 miles north-northeast of Lake Providence. The landscape is a monochrome of deep greens and alluvial browns, punctuated by the tangled architecture of kudzu and the occasional drift of Spanish moss hanging from ancient oaks. Washington Bayou moves with a sluggish, deliberate intent only a mile away, its banks thick with reeds that shiver in the afternoon heat. Beyond the immediate fields, the proximity of the Yazoo National Wildlife Refuge provides a sanctuary for migratory birds, their calls echoing over the quiet expanse. To the distance, the basin of Moon Lake offers a subtle variation in the elevation of the terrain, while Blue Hole remains a still, reflective presence five miles off, mirroring the transition of light as the sun begins to retreat behind the treeline.
Agriculture serves as the primary pulse of Glen Allan, dictating the seasonal migration of labor and the slow, mechanical hum of machinery that defines the daily schedule. The history of the locality is etched into the rows of crops that have been cultivated for generations, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the richness of the silt deposits left by the slow-moving waterways. Life here adheres to a quiet gravity, where the pace is measured not by clocks but by the ripening of the harvest and the persistent, humid warmth of the Mississippi afternoon. While the economy remains rooted in the land, the cultural character of Glen Allan is shaped by the intersection of rural industry and the endurance of its people. Evenings bring a particular stillness, a quality of light that turns the dust motes into gold and reminds those who remain that the land demands both patience and a profound, quiet respect.

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.
