Explore Marietta, 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 Marietta, 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 Marietta.
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.

Marietta occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells toward the horizon. It lies 21.5 miles northeast of Tupelo, MS (from Tupelo, MS: bearing 38°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east of Baldwyn. Granny Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid light of afternoons spent under a canopy of hardwoods. To the west, the land flattens into the subtle depressions of Pharr Flats, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Martin Hill marks the edge of the visible world. The air here holds the scent of damp earth and cooling pine, a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows as the sun retreats behind the tree line.
Marietta carries the weight of a slow-moving history, where the labor of the fields once dictated the pulse of the day. The local economy remains tethered to the land, supported by the quiet industry of those who work the timber and the soil, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger world. Residents find a familiar sanctuary in the nearby John Bell Williams Wma, a vast expanse of woodland that buffers the edges of daily life, while Bay Springs Lake offers a deeper, clearer stillness to those seeking the water’s edge. In the quiet intersections of the road, the character of Marietta reveals itself not in grand gestures, but in the enduring habit of neighbors looking after their own, bound by the simple, unyielding geography of the inland plains.

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.
