How to Use This Paris, Mississippi Map

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

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.

About Paris, Mississippi

Paris is a locality in Lafayette County, Mississippi, United States. It is a small community with a population of 163. The population density is 51.8 people per km². Paris is located at 34.1787°N, 89.4598°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 38965, 38949.

Paris exists as a quiet accumulation of red clay and loblolly pine, defined by the steady, persistent carve of Town Creek as it navigates the low-lying terrain. It lies 13.4 miles south-southeast of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 165°T), and is situated 10.0 miles east of Water Valley. The landscape around Paris maintains a modest elevation, characterized by the dense, tangled greenery of woodland thickets and the subtle shifting of topsoil that defines this inland geography. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Oak Ridge breaks the sky, a reminder of the more rugged topography that eventually gives way to these gentler slopes. Moisture clings to the air near Ivy Lake, where the surface tension of the water reflects the amber hue of the late afternoon sun, casting long, thin shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the light has faded.

History in Paris remains tethered to the slow pulse of agriculture, where the livelihoods of residents have long been dictated by the yield of the earth and the capricious nature of the rain. The economic rhythm here moves with the seasons, favoring the quiet industry of timber and small-scale cultivation over the frantic pace of modern commerce. A sense of isolation persists, buffered by the proximity of Unknown Park, which preserves a stretch of wilderness that feels untouched by the encroachment of the outside world. Life in Paris is measured by the infrequent sound of a passing truck on a gravel road or the seasonal migration of birds toward the creek, creating a communal atmosphere where the weight of the past is not a burden, but a constant, grounding presence in the daily work of keeping the land.
