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 occupies a flat, expansive stretch of the Delta where the earth seems to hold the light long after the sun has dipped toward the horizon. It lies 1.7 miles west-southwest of Yazoo City, MS (from Yazoo City, MS: bearing 238°T), and is situated 32.0 miles northwest of Madison. Deep, fertile soil dictates the character of the landscape, creating a horizon that feels infinite and unadorned by the elevation of Beech Ridge, which remains a distant, hazy memory far to the east. The air here carries a heavy, humid stillness, occasionally stirred by the proximity of the Yazoo River and the quiet waters of the Yazoo City Cut-Off 1940, both of which sit a mile away, shaping the moisture that feeds the surrounding fields. Vegetation grows with a relentless, tangled vigor, reclaiming fence lines and abandoned structures while the nearby Unknown Park offers a singular pocket of unmanaged growth amidst the relentless geometry of industrial agriculture.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Jonestown, defining the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that dictate the rhythm of local life. The historical legacy of the region is etched into the very dirt, where generations have worked the land, leaving behind a culture defined by resilience and the slow, deliberate pace of rural labor. While the economy has shifted over the decades, the fundamental connection to the soil remains unchanged, anchoring the people to this specific intersection of plains and water. Life in Jonestown proceeds with an quiet intensity, observed in the way residents navigate the intersections of daily work and the persistent, encroaching presence of the natural world, which always seems ready to reclaim the margins of the road.
