How to Use This Kiln, Mississippi Map

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

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.

About Kiln, Mississippi

Kiln is a locality in Hancock County, Mississippi, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,224. The population density is 65.2 people per km². Kiln is located at 30.4184°N, 89.4298°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 39556.

Kiln emerges from the dense, humid embrace of southern woodlands where the air carries a persistent, sweet weight of pine resin and damp earth. It lies 9.3 miles northwest of Bay St. Louis, MS (from Bay St. Louis, MS: bearing 318°T), and is situated 4.4 miles west-northwest of Diamondhead. Sunlight filters through the canopy in pale, splintered shafts, illuminating the Jourdan River Coastal Preserve, where the landscape dissolves into a complex, verdant mosaic of marsh and tidal wetland. Only five miles separate these quiet, low-lying thickets from the salt-heavy breezes of the Gulf of Mexico, though the proximity is felt more in the brackish humidity than in any view of the open horizon. Bayou Coco carves a dark, serpentine path through the terrain, its sluggish waters mirroring the heavy curtains of Spanish moss that sway above the banks, while the distant, flat expanse of the coastal plain stretches toward the horizon, far removed from the jagged elevation of Great Sand Hill.

History in Kiln remains tethered to the timber and spirits that once defined its industrious character, remnants of a time when local sawmills and clandestine stills dictated the rhythm of the workweek. The economy has shifted, yet the pulse of the place persists in the quiet resilience of those who cultivate the land and navigate the intricate waterways near Cameron Island. Residents often find their way toward Sam Farve Bay, an eight-mile trek that marks a transition in the geography, moving away from the dense timber toward more open, tidal-influenced basins. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the tides, a steady, unadorned existence where the primary landmarks are the shifting channels of the marsh and the enduring, shadowed stillness of the woods that have long guarded the secrets of the region.
