Explore Smithville, 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 Smithville, 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 Smithville.
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.

Smithville occupies a landscape of quiet, persistent green, where the earth swells into low, timbered rises that seem to hold the heat of the afternoon in their heavy soil. It lies 22.1 miles southeast of Tupelo, MS (from Tupelo, MS: bearing 126°T), and is situated 8.1 miles northeast of Amory. Blue Water Creek traces a winding path through the local topography, its presence marked by the thick, tangled growth of hardwoods that lean toward the water as if listening to the steady, rhythmic draw of the current. A mile away, the stillness of Pool B offers a reflective surface for the shifting clouds, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Pea Ridge defines the western horizon, anchoring the wide, inland expanse of the countryside. Here, the light at dusk has a way of thickening, turning the fields into a muted palette of amber and slate that feels both ancient and entirely immediate.
Smithville emerged from the labor of those who cleared the dense timber and turned the clay, establishing a life tethered to the cycles of the seasons and the land’s quiet productivity. The local economy persists in the steady pulse of agriculture and the small, vital trades that sustain a life away from the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents often find their way to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway at Glover Wilkins, where the intersection of managed recreation and the raw, unhurried flow of the landscape provides a common ground for the daily rhythm of the neighborhood. It is a place where the history of the region is written not in monuments, but in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying pastures and the enduring, deliberate pace with which the day unfolds.

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.
