How to Use This Potts Camp, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Potts Camp occupies a quiet corner of the northern Mississippi landscape where the earth yields to the persistent, winding course of Oaklimeter Creek. It lies 22.8 miles north-northeast of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 32°T), and is situated 19.9 miles west-northwest of New Albany. Moisture clings to the heavy air here, softening the edges of the hardwoods that define the nearby Holly Springs National Forest, which begins its sprawl at the very edge of the settlement. To the east, the ground lifts toward the distant horizon where the silhouette of Pea Ridge marks the limit of the view, while the local terrain remains defined by the humbler, sun-drenched elevation of the immediate woodland. Near the quiet surface of Cox Lake, the light at dusk takes on a bruised, violet quality that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the shadows have lengthened across the low-lying fields.

History in Potts Camp resides in the quiet persistence of its people and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons that govern the regional economy. The land, once defined by the labor of the soil, now carries a settled stillness, punctuated by the occasional movement of a freight train or the hum of local commerce that serves those living between the forested ridges and the deeper reaches of the county. Life here follows a cadence set by the cycles of the timber industry and the small-scale cultivation that has defined this territory for generations. Beyond the reach of Richmond Hollow, the character of the place remains fixed in a patient, unhurried observation of its own growth, where the sound of wind through the pines often serves as the only witness to the passing afternoon.
