Explore Sardis, 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 Sardis, 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 Sardis.
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.

Sardis rests upon the humbler reaches of the northern Mississippi landscape, where the earth holds the heat of the sun in heavy, ochre-tinted clay. It lies 16.8 miles north-northeast of Brookhaven, MS (from Brookhaven, MS: bearing 24°T), and is situated 5.9 miles southeast of Hazlehurst. Bahala Creek winds its path through the low-lying terrain, its waters carving a slow, deliberate channel through the silty bottomland that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into modest swells, though the distant Scutchillo Hills provide the only jagged interruption to an otherwise level horizon. Five miles to the east, the stillness of Wilson Lake reflects the broad, empty sky, acting as a quiet reservoir for the migratory birds that pass through these inland corridors. The air here carries a thick, humid weight, particularly as the light softens into a bruised purple during the late afternoon, illuminating the verdant tangle of vines that cling to the older, unpainted timber structures.
Sardis maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal requirements of the soil, remaining deeply connected to the agrarian rhythms that have anchored the region for generations. While the influence of modern commerce has altered the storefronts, the economic pulse remains tied to the surrounding fields and the specialized labor required to manage them. Residents find leisure in the simple proximity of the outdoors, often gathering at the Hazlehurst Youth Park to observe the quiet transition of the day. The culture here is forged in the long, lingering conversations held on shaded porches, where the cadence of speech matches the slow, deliberate movement of the nearby creek. Sardis functions as a repository of local memory, where the weight of the past is not a museum piece but a lived reality, observable in the weathered brick of the downtown district and the unhurried way the morning light settles over the dusty intersections.

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.
