Explore New Albany, 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 New Albany, 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 New Albany.
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.

New Albany emerges from the landscape where the Little Tallahatchie River carves a path through the northern Mississippi terrain. It lies 23.8 miles northwest of Tupelo, MS (from Tupelo, MS: bearing 313°T), and is situated 17.0 miles north of Pontotoc. The land here is defined by a slow, rhythmic elevation that stretches toward Pea Ridge on the horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the water, the topography dips into the fertile, low-lying expanse of King Creek Bottoms. Residents often look toward the distant, wooded silhouettes of the Holly Springs National Forest for a sense of scale. The light at dusk here settles heavy and gold over the fields, turning the soil a deep, rich brown that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped away.
New Albany maintains a steady industrial pulse, anchored by a manufacturing sector that has long provided the backbone for the local economy. The history of the area is tied to the movement of goods and people, evolving from early settlement days into a modern regional hub. While the tracks and roads have shifted over the decades, the commitment to production remains a constant in the daily lives of the people. Businesses here operate with a focus on precision and reliability, drawing on a workforce that values the dignity of a finished product. The local economy thrives on this quiet industriousness, keeping the streets busy with the hum of commerce throughout the work week.
New Albany fosters a spirit of community that centers on shared spaces like Alabama Street Park, where the afternoon air is often filled with the sounds of neighbors gathering. The cultural identity of the region is shaped by a lingering, literary sensibility that seems to rise from the very dust of the hills. Among those who have left a mark on the world, William Faulkner stands as the most prominent figure associated with this broader landscape. Residents celebrate their heritage through local events that highlight the music and stories native to this part of the state. Life in New Albany moves with a deliberate, unforced cadence, allowing the individual to feel both connected to the past and present in the current moment.

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.
