Explore New Site, 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 Site, 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 Site.
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 Site occupies a quiet intersection of earth and water where the land slowly rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Riddle Wind Ridge. It lies 26.7 miles south-southeast of Corinth, MS (from Corinth, MS: bearing 166°T), and is situated 11.3 miles southeast of Booneville. Pee Dee Creek traces a narrow, serpentine path through the surrounding woodland, its dark waters carving through the clay soil with a persistent, quiet industry. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness in the afternoons, especially as the light begins to slant low, catching the fine, golden dust that rises from the gravel roads. To the west, the terrain levels out toward the expanse of Pharr Flats, while the cool, still surface of Bay Springs Lake rests only a few miles away, acting as a mirror for the towering hardwoods that define the horizon.
The rhythm of life in New Site remains tethered to the slow cycles of the land and the modest commerce of a rural crossroads, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger world. Memories of earlier agrarian patterns persist in the weathered architecture and the way families maintain the surrounding acreage, leaning into the traditions of timber and small-scale cultivation that have long anchored the local economy. Beyond the immediate clearings, the Divide Section offers a protected sanctuary of pine and oak, preserving a stretch of forest that feels indifferent to the passage of decades. In the quiet evenings, the atmosphere of New Site suggests a place where history is not displayed in monuments, but carried in the patient, measured movements of those who have chosen to remain in this corner of the interior.

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.
