How to Use This Silver Creek, Mississippi Map

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

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.

Silver Creek emerges from the humid, verdant expanse of the Pine Belt, defined by the steady, dark-watered passage of the namesake waterway that snakes through the lowland timber. It lies 26.1 miles east of Brookhaven, MS (from Brookhaven, MS: bearing 86°T), and is situated 26.2 miles north-northwest of Columbia. Beyond the immediate banks, the topography transitions into a series of modest elevations that roll toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Hope Hill. The air here holds a heavy, pressurized stillness, often thick with the scent of damp pine needles and the earthy musk of the nearby Hooker Hollow. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy in shifting, amber-toned shafts, illuminating the fine, silty loam that characterizes the forest floor and creates a distinct, muted palette of ochre and deep, chlorophyll-rich green.

Silver Creek functions as a quiet nexus of agrarian tradition and timber production, its economy deeply tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the land and the processing of raw forest yields. While the modern pace remains tempered, the echoes of a rail-based past linger in the layout of the streets, suggesting a time when the transit of goods dictated the rhythm of daily life. Residents find recreation in the broader regional landscape, often traveling toward Lake Lincoln State Park for the relief of its managed woods or looking toward the quiet, still waters of Martin Lake for a reprieve from the summer heat. The character of Silver Creek persists in this balance, a place where the persistence of rural labor meets the patient, slow growth of the surrounding woodland, undisturbed by the frantic velocity of larger centers.

About This Silver Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Silver Creek, Mississippi. Coordinates: 31.605168, -89.998416. 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 Silver Creek includes the ZIP code (39663), telephone area code (228), county seat of Lawrence County (Monticello), and school district assignment (Lawrence 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.
