How to Use This Jonestown, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Jonestown emerges from the flat, alluvial expanse of the Delta where the earth holds the heavy, dark memory of ancient floods. It lies 9.3 miles west-southwest of Corinth, MS (from Corinth, MS: bearing 242°T), and is situated 15.8 miles north-northwest of Booneville. Mills Creek carves a sluggish, winding path through the silt-rich soil, its dark water reflecting the vast, unbroken sky that dominates the horizon. To the east, the elevation shifts toward the subtle, distant rise of Elam Ridge, while closer at hand, the still surface of Hughes Pond gathers the golden light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape occasionally dips into the quiet, shaded seclusion of Kellum Hollow, where the air grows thick with the scent of damp earth and cooling vegetation.

Jonestown carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of the cotton cycle, where the rhythms of the harvest have long dictated the pulse of the day. The local economy remains anchored to the surrounding agricultural fields, a legacy that defines the lives of those who work the rows under the unrelenting summer sun. Residents occasionally venture toward the natural reaches of Tuscumbia Wma, where the quietude of the woods offers a reprieve from the open, exposed plains of the working farmland. Life in Jonestown moves with a deliberate, slow-turning cadence, persistent and unbothered, marked by the simple sounds of wind moving through tall crops and the distant, cooling shadows cast by the afternoon sun.
