How to Use This Rawls Springs, Mississippi Map

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

Rawls Springs is a locality in Forrest County, Mississippi, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,202. The population density is 254.2 people per km². Rawls Springs is located at 31.3834°N, 89.3865°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 39402.

Rawls Springs occupies a quiet stretch of land where the persistent, tea-colored flow of Mineral Creek carves a slow path through the dense, verdant undergrowth. It lies 6.1 miles northwest of Hattiesburg, MS (from Hattiesburg, MS: bearing 308°T), and is situated 7.0 miles west-northwest of Petal. The terrain here is defined by low, pine-thickened ridges that slope toward the low-lying expanse of Eatonville Flat, creating a landscape that feels heavy with the humidity of the inland South. During the humid afternoons, the light filters through the canopy in thick, golden shafts, illuminating the fine dust that rises from the unpaved edges of the roads. Beyond the immediate tree line, the horizon remains modest and unassuming, lacking the dramatic elevation of distant peaks like Anderson Hill, which waits ten miles to the west as a mere suggestion of height against the sky.

Rawls Springs maintains a rhythm dictated by the land’s long history of timber and small-scale agriculture, where the legacy of the sawmill era still lingers in the quietude of the backroads. While the proximity to the University Soccer Fields four miles away brings an occasional surge of organized energy to the perimeter, the daily life within the settlement remains rooted in the slow, methodical labor of the forest and the field. Even the distant, quiet water of Dogwood Lake, fourteen miles off, seems to exert a cooling influence on the air, tempering the heat that settles over the pine needles and red clay. Life here unfolds without pretense, a steady accumulation of days spent under a vast, pale sky that seems to hold the weight of the surrounding woods in perfect, immutable balance.
