How to Use This Schlater, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Schlater occupies a quiet, level stretch of the Mississippi Delta where the horizon extends unbroken, defined by the relentless flatness of the alluvial plain. It lies 13.0 miles northwest of Greenwood, MS (from Greenwood, MS: bearing 312°T), and is situated 13.1 miles east-southeast of Ruleville. The air here holds a heavy, persistent humidity that seems to slow the passage of the afternoon, coating the stalks of cotton and soybean in a fine, silty dust. Three miles to the east, the Quiver River meanders through the landscape, its dark, sluggish current carving a winding path through the silt-rich earth. Beyond the immediate reach of the cultivated fields, the terrain remains largely open, though the distant, forested expanse of Malmaison Wma provides a dense, green relief against the stark, sun-bleached expanse of the farmland.

Schlater emerged from the expansion of the rail lines and the ambition of those who saw potential in the deep, fertile soil of the valley. Today, the local economy remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of planting and harvest, a life dictated by the requirements of the land rather than the frantic pace of the outside world. The legacy of the agrarian past is visible in the utilitarian structures that dot the landscape, serving as silent witnesses to decades of labor. While the nearby Six Mile Lake provides a point of stillness in the geography, the true character of the locality is found in the way the light catches the tops of the crops at dusk, turning the vast, flat fields into a sea of muted gold before the evening shadows claim the ground.
