Explore New Hebron, 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 Hebron, 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 Hebron.
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 Hebron emerges from the pine-thickened landscape of interior Mississippi, where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the tree line. It lies 29.1 miles east-northeast of Brookhaven, MS (from Brookhaven, MS: bearing 69°T), and is situated 17.4 miles southwest of Magee. The terrain here relies on the slow, deliberate work of water, defined by the quiet passage of West Prong Silver Creek just a mile from the center of activity. To the north, the land dips into the shadowed basin of Hooker Hollow, while the flatter, cultivated expanses toward Martin Lake offer a different, more open relief to the dense timber. At dusk, the light catches the dust motes in the air, casting a heavy, golden amber glow over the fields that makes the horizon seem both infinite and intimate.
New Hebron carries the weight of a history rooted in the stubborn persistence of agriculture and the timber trade, industries that once dictated the pulse of every street corner. Life here moves with a gravity born of generations who learned to read the sky for signs of rain, keeping a steady, unadorned pace that ignores the frantic speed of the outside world. While the modern economy has shifted, the character of the place remains fixed in its small-scale, methodical commerce and the quiet resilience of its residents. For those seeking the deeper reaches of the state, the shaded paths of Mcnair Springs provide a rare sanctuary of stillness, a reminder of the raw, untamed woodland that once claimed everything before the first roads were cut through the loam.

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.
