Explore Morgantown, 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 Morgantown, 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 Morgantown.
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.

Morgantown emerges from the humid, verdant landscape of the interior, defined by the persistent, dark currents of the Pearl River that carve a steady path through the low-lying timberland. It lies 32.1 miles east of McComb, MS (from McComb, MS: bearing 81°T), and is situated 6.2 miles northwest of Columbia. The air here holds a heavy, pressurized quality, thick with the scent of damp earth and pine needles that seem to amplify the golden, honeyed light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate banks of the waterway, the terrain shifts into a series of modest elevations that ripple toward the horizon, far removed from the reach of any distant coastline. Four miles to the north, the quiet expanse of Unknown Field offers a sprawl of uncultivated brush and timber, providing a stark, silent contrast to the encroaching sprawl of human enterprise. The horizon remains unbroken by the grandeur of distant peaks, save for the faint, atmospheric suggestion of Hub Hill rising some eighteen miles away, a mere suggestion of height against the vast, cloud-dappled sky.
Morgantown maintains a deliberate pace, anchored by a legacy of agriculture and the rhythmic demands of regional timber processing that have sustained the population for generations. While the economic focus remains tied to the soil and the processing of raw materials, the proximity of the Pearl River continues to dictate the flow of daily existence, influencing both the logistics of local trade and the quiet, introspective character of those who live along its reaches. Residents often look toward Lake Columbia, thirteen miles distant, as a primary point of recreation, finding in its still, freshwater surface a reprieve from the heat of the summer months. History here is not marked by grand monuments but by the persistence of family lines and the slow, steady transformation of the landscape, where the kudzu vines reclaim abandoned structures and the daily passage of trains provides a mechanical pulse to the humid silence of the afternoon.

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.
