How to Use This Macon, Mississippi Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Macon, 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 Macon.
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.

ZIP code: 39341.Macon emerges from the black prairie soil where Cedar Creek carves a slow, muddy path through the low-lying terrain, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid sky. It lies 28.0 miles south-southwest of Columbus, MS (from Columbus, MS: bearing 196°T), and is situated 28.1 miles south-southeast of Starkville. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of hardwoods, casting long, fractured shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Poorhouse Mountain. The air here holds a distinct weight, a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows and linger under the leaves, while Gillespie Park offers a quiet clearing where the grass grows thick and unbothered by the passage of the afternoon.
Macon carries the enduring character of a landscape defined by the cycles of the harvest and the persistent, quiet growth of the surrounding woodlands. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the earth, where the labor of agriculture has long shaped the town’s architecture and its steady, deliberate pace. Visitors might find their way toward the stillness of Loakfoma Lake, a presence that anchors the regional geography with its calm expanse, while the streets of Macon remain marked by the sturdy brickwork of an earlier era. Life moves according to the turning of the seasons, a slow accumulation of days where the history of the region is felt in the texture of the weathered storefronts and the deep, silent resilience of the land itself.

About This Macon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Macon, Mississippi. Coordinates: 33.122065, -88.556713. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Macon includes the ZIP code (39341), telephone area code (601), county seat of Noxubee County (Macon), and school district assignment (Noxubee County School District).
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.
