How to Use This Raleigh, Mississippi Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Raleigh, 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 Raleigh.
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 Raleigh, Mississippi
Raleigh is a locality in Smith County, Mississippi, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,094. The population density is 82.9 people per km². Raleigh is located at 32.0335°N, 89.5223°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Raleigh is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 39153.Raleigh occupies a quiet expanse of the pine-belt interior, where the land unfolds in a series of wooded ridges and deep, verdant hollows. It lies 31.8 miles east-southeast of Brandon, MS (from Brandon, MS: bearing 121°T), and is situated 16.6 miles northeast of Magee. The horizon is defined by the modest elevation of Flat Rock Hill, a weathered rise that breaks the monotony of the dense timberland surrounding the area. A mile to the east, Beaver Creek carves a narrow, serpentine path through the earth, its dark waters feeding the moisture that sustains the thick stands of loblolly and longleaf pine. The ambient light here possesses a distinct, syrupy quality during the late afternoon, casting elongated shadows that stretch across the red clay soil and tangle in the heavy, humid air of the nearby Bienville National Forest.
Raleigh serves as an administrative anchor for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands, maintaining a legacy built upon the quiet extraction and management of the region’s natural wealth. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the woods and the harvest, with the daily movement of heavy trucks echoing the industry that has sustained generations. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the recreational trails of the Bienville National Forest offer a respite for those who seek the stillness of the deep woods, while the tranquil surface of Shongelo Lake provides a gathering point for the local community. Life in Raleigh moves with a deliberate, unforced cadence, shaped by the cyclical demands of the seasons and the enduring presence of the surrounding pines.

About This Raleigh Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Raleigh, Mississippi. Coordinates: 32.033488, -89.522291. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Raleigh includes the ZIP code (39153), telephone area code (601), county seat of Smith County (Raleigh), and school district assignment (Smith County School District).
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.
