Explore Marion, 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 Marion, 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 Marion.
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.

Marion holds the quiet gravity of the interior, where the land stretches out in deep, verdant folds of pine and hardwood forest. It lies 4.9 miles northeast of Meridian, MS (from Meridian, MS: bearing 42°T), and is situated 29.2 miles west-southwest of Livingston. The Sowashee Creek carves a persistent path through the local terrain, its waters moving with a deliberate, muddy patience that defines the drainage of this inland reach. To the west, the horizon remains stubbornly flat, though the distant silhouette of Hog Wallow Ridge offers a faint, jagged interruption against the sky during the clearest hours of the day. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that clings to the skin, punctuated occasionally by the rustle of leaves in Northeast Park, where the canopy provides a cool refuge from the persistent Mississippi sun.
Marion retains a character forged by the steady intersection of transit and local trade, having grown outward from the early arteries of the rail lines that once dictated the pace of regional commerce. The economy remains tethered to the pulse of the surrounding landscape, shifting from the legacies of timber and agriculture toward the service-oriented rhythms of the present day. Residents find a familiar stillness in the afternoons, often drifting toward the banks of the nearby Bonita Reservoir to watch the light change over the water as the heat finally breaks. Life in Marion moves in accordance with these subtle environmental shifts, favoring a deliberate, measured pace that prioritizes the endurance of the local soil over the frantic speed of the wider 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.
