Explore Sumrall, 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 Sumrall, 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 Sumrall.
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.

Sumrall emerges from the dense pine thickets and low, undulating ridges of the Pine Belt, defined by the quiet passage of Sumrall Mill Creek as it carves its way through the loamy earth. It lies 16.1 miles west-northwest of Hattiesburg, MS (from Hattiesburg, MS: bearing 293°T), and is situated 17.4 miles west-northwest of Petal. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, often thick with the scent of damp needles and the sharp, resinous breath of longleaf pines that have dominated this landscape for generations. To the west, the horizon remains unbroken by any significant elevation, though the distant silhouette of Anderson Hill serves as a faint, singular ripple against the expansive, verdant sky. The light at dusk settles over the fields in long, amber slats, catching the dust kicked up from red-clay roads and turning the common woodland into a shifting gallery of deep shadow and bronze.
Sumrall began as a bustling hub for the timber industry, growing rapidly around the rhythmic whine of the sawmills that once dictated the pace of every waking hour. While the heavy machinery of the lumber era has long since quieted, the remnants of that industrious past persist in the sturdy, weathered architecture that lines the primary corridors. Residents today look toward the broader regional economy, occasionally traveling toward the University Soccer Fields for recreation or seeking the wider water expanses of Lake Columbia when the summer heat presses down with unrelenting force. Life in Sumrall moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, where the significance of the day is measured not by grand events, but by the steady maintenance of gardens, the conversation held on a front porch, and the persistent, quiet growth of the pines that watch over the streets.

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.
