Explore Mize, 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 Mize, 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 Mize.
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.

Mize anchors itself amidst a landscape of pine-timbered ridges and clay-heavy soil that holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has begun its descent. It lies 27.7 miles west-northwest of Laurel, MS (from Laurel, MS: bearing 296°T), and is situated 10.4 miles east of Magee. Clear Creek carves a winding path through the local topography, its waters moving with a deliberate, quiet purpose that reflects the slow accumulation of sediment and shade along its banks. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land rises into the modest, weathered silhouettes of Flat Rock Hill, which loom on the horizon like a reminder of the earth’s ancient, unyielding architecture. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and cooling needles, a heavy, sensory stillness that settles over the fields when the humidity breaks. Three miles away, the surface of Lake Ross Barnett remains a glassy expanse, mirroring the broad, expansive sky that dominates the view over the surrounding plains.
Mize endures as a place where the economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the land, defined by the steady labor of timber production and the persistent cultivation of regional crops. The history of the area is etched into the quietude of Sullivans Hollow, where the shadows seem to linger longer, preserving a sense of the solitude that once defined early settlement. Residents looking for recreation often turn their gaze toward the City Of Magee Sportsplex, a destination that serves as a focal point for communal activity and local competition. Life in Mize possesses a singular, unforced quality, manifesting in the way the light catches the dust on a gravel road at dusk or the specific, resonant sound of the wind moving through the canopy of longleaf pines. It is a locality that demands little, offering instead an honest, grounded existence that remains largely indifferent to the frantic pace 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.
