How to Use This Henderson Point, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Henderson Point manifests as a low-slung stretch of land where the humid breath of the Gulf of Mexico perpetually softens the edges of the horizon. It lies 2.6 miles east of Bay St. Louis, MS (from Bay St. Louis, MS: bearing 90°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west-southwest of Long Beach. Mallini Bayou carves a dark, brackish path through the marshy perimeter, its sluggish currents carrying the scent of salt-grass and decaying cedar toward the open water. To the west, the landscape flattens into a monochromatic expanse of silt and sand, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Great Sand Hill marks the only significant interruption in an otherwise level topography. The light here acts as a prism, turning the afternoon sky into a bruised violet that reflects off the shallows, illuminating the skeletal remainders of driftwood and the tangled, verdant growth that thrives in the heavy, humid air.

Henderson Point bears the quiet marks of a long-standing coastal existence, shaped by the cyclical arrival of storms and the slow, persistent accumulation of trade and maritime labor. While the local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the water, the proximity of the Bayou Portage Coastal Reserve serves as a permanent buffer, preserving a quietude that contrasts with the industrial activity of the nearby harbors. Residents often look toward the distant Cameron Island, a dark smudge against the waves, while the memory of North Pass lingers nineteen miles inland as a reminder of the region’s complex, interconnected drainage. Life in Henderson Point unfolds with a deliberate, sparse cadence, defined by the maintenance of bulkhead and pier, and the patient observation of a tide that never truly recedes, but merely shifts its weight against the shore.
