Explore Leland, 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 Leland, 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 Leland.
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.

Leland occupies a vast, alluvial expanse where the horizon stretches into a pale, shimmering haze that swallows the distinction between earth and sky. It lies 9.5 miles east of Greenville, MS (from Greenville, MS: bearing 92°T), and is situated 14.3 miles west-southwest of Indianola. Deer Creek carves a slow, serpentine path through the center of the landscape, its dark waters reflecting the heavy, humid stillness that defines the afternoons here. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain remains stubbornly flat, a fertile basin of deep soil that supports a quiet, rhythmic existence. To the west, the distant silhouettes of Backbone Ridge provide a rare interruption to the level plain, while the dense, tangled canopy of the Delta Experimental Forest waits five miles away, a tangled sanctuary of hardwood and vine. A few miles further, the stillness of Lake Monocnoc holds the light of the setting sun in a glassy, obsidian grip, grounding the geography in a profound, inland silence.
Leland serves as a quiet monument to the cycles of agriculture and the persistence of the Delta’s cultural inheritance. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the fields, where the harvest dictates the pulse of the days and the slow, deliberate movement of traffic through the streets. At the center of daily life, Robbs Street Park provides a small, green anchor where the shade of mature trees offers a reprieve from the relentless intensity of the summer sun. The atmosphere carries the weight of a long, complex history, discernible in the weathered brick of the older storefronts and the way the local dialect softens the hard edges of the afternoon. Here, the legacy of the blues remains a subtle, humming presence in the air, informing the character of the people and the unhurried way they gather to watch the shadows lengthen across the flat, expansive ground.

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.
