How to Use This Slate Springs, Mississippi Map

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

Slate Springs emerges from the humid, red-clay terrain of northern Mississippi as a quiet collection of dwellings anchored to the earth by deep roots and long-standing traditions. It lies 25.0 miles east of Grenada, MS (from Grenada, MS: bearing 94°T), and is situated 15.2 miles north-northwest of Eupora. Sunlight often hits the landscape at a slant, catching the dust kicked up from unpaved shoulders and illuminating the thick, tangled greenery that pushes against the edges of the roads. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Beasley Hills provides a muted backdrop for the surrounding woodlands, while the modest flow of McPhail Branch meanders through the undergrowth just two miles away. The air here holds a heavy, lingering warmth, carrying the scent of pine needles and damp soil as the afternoon shadows stretch across the fields.

Slate Springs maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding agricultural landscape, where the local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the land. History is preserved in the wood-frame structures and the quiet persistence of families who have occupied these acres for generations, their lives shaped by the proximity of Dorroh Lake and the expansive, untamed terrain of the Calhoun County Wildlife Management Area. Far from the frantic noise of modern industrial centers, the daily rhythm of Slate Springs is marked by the deliberate movement of tractors and the persistent, rhythmic drone of cicadas in the heat. It is a place where the landscape asserts itself over the built environment, demanding a patient attention to the subtle shifts in the weather and the slow, steady growth of the timber that defines the horizon.

About This Slate Springs Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Slate Springs, Mississippi. Coordinates: 33.7417, -89.3752. 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 Slate Springs includes the ZIP code (38916), telephone area code (228), county seat of Calhoun County (Pittsboro), and school district assignment (Calhoun 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.
