Explore Terry, 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 Terry, 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 Terry.
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.

Terry rests upon the humid, verdant expanse of central Mississippi, where Vaughn Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the dense woodland and clay-rich soil. It lies 6.4 miles south-southwest of Byram, MS (from Byram, MS: bearing 207°T), and is situated 8.4 miles north-northeast of Crystal Springs. The landscape here favors a slow, heavy stillness, characterized by pine thickets and the tangled, pervasive reach of kudzu that softens the sharp edges of the terrain. To the distant west, the silhouette of the Scutchillo Hills provides a jagged, hazy boundary against the horizon, while the local moisture gathers in the depths of Lake Wynndale just a few miles away. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, syrupy quality, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the fields and cling to the ancient hardwoods lining the creek bed.
Terry maintains a character forged in the legacy of the railroad and the enduring labor of the agrarian south, where the pace of life is dictated by the turning seasons rather than the frantic tick of a clock. While the echoes of its past as a transit point remain, the modern economy finds its footing in the quiet industry of local trade and the gradual shift toward residential stability. Residents often find their way toward the greenery of Chautauqua Park when the heat becomes absolute, seeking the shade that offers a momentary reprieve from the sun. The atmosphere within Terry suggests a place that has learned to hold its own counsel, remaining indifferent to the noise of the wider world while preserving the steady, unpretentious rhythm of its own existence.

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.
