Explore Rolling Fork, 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 Rolling Fork, 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 Rolling Fork.
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.

Rolling Fork occupies a vast, level expanse of the alluvial plain, where the horizon stretches wide and thin under an immense, pale sky. It lies 27.6 miles west of Yazoo City, MS (from Yazoo City, MS: bearing 278°T), and is situated 18.4 miles east-northeast of Lake Providence. Deer Creek traces a serpentine path through the landscape, its slow, dark water reflecting the heavy limbs of cypress trees and the long, trailing curtains of Spanish moss that sway in the humid, stagnant air. Beyond the immediate banks, the land flattens into an endless grid of silt-heavy soil, interrupted only by the occasional verdant reach of Delta National Forest or the quiet, secluded wetlands of Twin Oaks Wma. In the late afternoon, the light turns a bruised gold, catching the dust kicked up from the fields and lending the flat, open geography a strange, shimmering depth that feels as old as the earth itself.
Agricultural life remains the primary pulse of Rolling Fork, with the seasonal rhythms of cotton and corn harvests dictating the slow, deliberate pace of the local economy. The history of the place is etched into the very soil, defined by the persistence of those who worked these bottomlands long before modern machinery arrived to reshape the reach of the fields. While Blue Hole lies some miles off, offering a rare, still pocket of water in the broader expanse, the true character of the locality is found in the way the local population gathers in the shade of the storefronts to trade news. Life here feels tethered to the persistent, quiet endurance of the Delta, where the heat of the day softens into a heavy, resonant silence that lingers long after the sun has vanished behind the distant tree line.

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.
