How to Use This Myrtle, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Myrtle occupies a quiet stretch of northern Mississippi where the earth is defined by the steady, persistent passage of Lockes Creek. It lies 26.4 miles east-northeast of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 60°T), and is situated 7.7 miles northwest of New Albany. The landscape surrounding Myrtle is characterized by modest elevations and thickets of hardwood that soften the horizon, leading the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Pea Ridge. A mile away, the quiet waters of Springdale Lakes mirror the expansive sky, while the proximity of Holly Springs National Forest invites a dense, verdant humidity into the air. Here, the light at dusk holds a particular weight, turning the fields into a deep, bruised copper before the shadows settle into the cooling hollows of the land.

Myrtle maintains a pace dictated by the rhythms of the soil and the legacy of the regional timber and agricultural trades that have long anchored the local economy. The influence of the nearby King Creek Bottoms creates a distinct moisture in the atmosphere, nourishing the deep-rooted oaks and pines that have stood witness to the slow evolution of the regional character. Life in Myrtle moves with a deliberate, unforced gravity, lingering over the simple chores of the day while the nearby Holly Springs National Forest serves as a vast, quiet buffer against the clamor of the wider world. Residents navigate the seasons with a grounded familiarity, finding a steady sort of peace in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying timberland before the heat of the day takes hold.

About This Myrtle Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Myrtle, Mississippi. Coordinates: 34.558434, -89.119235. 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 Myrtle includes the ZIP code (38650), telephone area code (601, 769), county seat of Union County (New Albany), and school district assignment (Union County 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.
