Explore Kosciusko, 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 Kosciusko, 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 Kosciusko.
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.

Kosciusko serves as a quiet anchor within the humid, verdant heart of central Mississippi. It lies 40.3 miles northeast of Canton, MS (from Canton, MS: bearing 40°T), and is situated 15.5 miles east of Durant. The landscape surrounding Kosciusko consists of undulating, wooded terrain that softens the transition between the flat Delta to the west and the more rugged elevations found toward the Government Hills. Moisture clings to the heavy air during the long afternoons, often gathering in the low basin where the Yockanookany River winds its slow, deliberate path through the thickets. Residents often find a moment of stillness at Country Club Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting amber light of the late day sun. Even within the municipal limits, the green canopy of Niles Park offers a shaded reprieve from the heat, grounding the daily experience of the people in the quiet cycle of the seasons.
Kosciusko emerged as a center for trade and agriculture, sustained by the fertile soil that has long dictated the rhythm of local industry. The economy has transitioned over time from a reliance on cotton and timber to a more diverse landscape of manufacturing and regional commerce, reflecting the stubborn resilience of those who tend the land. Rows of brick storefronts in the center of the grid speak to a history of mercantile ambition, where the exchange of goods once fueled the growth of the surrounding countryside. Labor remains the central fiber of the local identity, shaped by the demands of the soil and the steady production of materials that move out to wider markets. The persistence of these enterprises provides a backbone for the community, mirroring the slow, unyielding growth of the forests that press against the town's edge.
Kosciusko maintains a cultural character defined by a deliberate pace and a deep regard for the individuals who have shaped its public life. The town’s most prominent association is with Oprah Winfrey, who spent her early childhood here, drawing a thread of global recognition back to these modest streets. Local events often center on the square, where the architecture serves as a silent witness to the changing decades and the persistent, slow-moving tide of regional life. Landmarks like the historic courthouse reflect a pride in administrative tradition that has survived despite the quiet isolation of the interior landscape. Whether through the casual gatherings at the park or the enduring influence of its famous daughter, Kosciusko preserves a distinct sense of self that remains indifferent to the frenetic speed of the outside world.

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.
