Explore Tillatoba, 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 Tillatoba, 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 Tillatoba.
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.

Tillatoba sits amidst a landscape of quiet, red-clay hills where the humid air thickens with the scent of pine needles and damp earth. It lies 15.8 miles north-northwest of Grenada, MS (from Grenada, MS: bearing 341°T), and is situated 19.1 miles southwest of Water Valley. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of Holly Springs National Forest, casting elongated, shifting shadows over the uneven ground just two miles from the village edge. A short distance away, the dark, slow-moving waters of Simmons Creek carve a modest path through the brush, while four miles to the north, the surface of Lake Tillatoba reflects the pale, wide sky of the interior plains. On the distant horizon, the faint, blue silhouette of Oak Ridge breaks the line of the sky, serving as a permanent, silent marker of the geography that defines this inland expanse.
Tillatoba emerged from the quiet push of agricultural expansion, its history tied to the stubborn productivity of the soil and the rhythm of seasonal harvests. The local economy remains anchored to the land, where the labor of small-scale farming and timber management dictates the pace of the day. Life in Tillatoba moves in accordance with the turning of the crops, far removed from the frantic noise of larger centers, maintaining a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows between the trees. Even as the decades have passed, the character of the place has remained consistent, defined by the enduring patience of those who work the fields and the steady, unhurried flow of the nearby watercourses.

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.
