How to Use This Mississippi State, Mississippi Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mississippi State, 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 Mississippi State.

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.

About Mississippi State, Mississippi

Mississippi State is a locality in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,968. The population density is 820.4 people per km². Mississippi State is located at 33.4516°N, 88.7912°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 39762, 39759.

Mississippi State occupies a broad, verdant expanse where the slow, deliberate movement of Catalpa Creek defines the low-lying terrain. It lies 1.6 miles east of Starkville, MS (from Starkville, MS: bearing 87°T), and is situated 13.5 miles southwest of West Point. The landscape here is characterized by the subtle, persistent push of prairie soil against the horizon, an inland stretch far removed from the volatility of the coastline. To the west, the distant elevation of the Walnut Hills offers a soft, blue-gray silhouette against the afternoon sky, while the air maintains a heavy, humid stillness that seems to suspend time itself. At the center of this expanse, Campus Square serves as a quiet pivot point for the day, its open grounds offering a reprieve where the light filters through the canopy in long, amber needles as the sun begins to retreat.

History at Mississippi State is written in the enduring commitment to the land and the industry of agriculture that has long anchored the regional economy. Academic pursuits remain the lifeblood of the locality, with the legacy of the Mississippi State University School of Forest Resources extending its influence across the surrounding timberlands and research plots. Beyond the classrooms and the constant hum of intellectual labor, life moves with a measured cadence, punctuated by the seasonal shift of the fields and the occasional excursion to the quiet waters of Camps Lake. The people here share a quiet, pragmatic dedication to the soil, reflecting a culture that values the tangible results of cultivation and the slow, steady progress of the seasons above the frantic pace of distant centers.

About This Mississippi State Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mississippi State, Mississippi. Coordinates: 33.4516, -88.7912. 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 Mississippi State includes the ZIP code (39762, 39759), telephone area code (662), county seat of Oktibbeha County (Starkville), and school district assignment (Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated 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.
