Explore Ocean Springs, 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 Ocean Springs, 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 Ocean Springs.
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.

Ocean Springs occupies a low-lying stretch of land where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of salt and pine. It lies 3.6 miles east-northeast of Biloxi, MS (from Biloxi, MS: bearing 73°T), and is situated 3.9 miles east-southeast of D'Iberville. The landscape remains defined by its immediate proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, which shapes the tides and the soft, shifting light of the late afternoon. Travelers often find themselves drawn to the water’s edge, where the shoreline meets the horizon in a haze of gray and blue. Inland, the terrain reaches toward the gentle rise of Camp Hill, while the waters of Old Fort Bayou wind through the verdant landscape toward the coast. Beyond the immediate shore, one might encounter the quiet expanse of the Harrison Experimental Forest, a place where the stillness of the woods contrasts with the rhythmic pulse of the tides.
Ocean Springs carries a legacy of early exploration and settlement that remains visible in the architecture of its shaded streets. The local economy relies on a blend of maritime industry and a vibrant service sector that supports a steady flow of visitors throughout the year. While the town maintains a connection to the natural resources of the coast, it also fosters a diverse commercial environment that has evolved over many decades. Residents often look toward the nearby Ravine Canne to understand the drainage and natural topography that defined the earliest boundaries of the settlement. The industrious spirit of Ocean Springs manifests in the careful maintenance of its public spaces and the preservation of its modest, historic structures.
The cultural character of Ocean Springs is perhaps most clearly reflected in its dedication to the arts and its long-standing appreciation for creative expression. Walter Anderson, a visionary artist whose work captured the essence of the surrounding flora and fauna, remains the most celebrated individual to have resided within these borders. Public life frequently centers around Little Childrens Park, a space where the rhythm of the day slows to match the passing of the clouds. Festivals and local gatherings often fill the streets, drawing people together to celebrate the unique identity of the region. Visitors may also find themselves drifting toward the proximity of Channel Island, which serves as a quiet landmark visible from the mainland. Ocean Springs preserves its history not through grand monuments, but through the lived experience of its residents and the enduring influence of its most prominent creative voices.

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.
