Explore Tula, 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 Tula, 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 Tula.
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.

Tula emerges from the dense, tangled canopy of northern Mississippi as a quiet intersection of red-clay earth and shadowed timber. It lies 12.9 miles southeast of Oxford, MS (from Oxford, MS: bearing 136°T), and is situated 13.1 miles southeast of University. The landscape surrounding Tula is defined by the heavy, humid stillness of upland forests, where sunlight filters through pine needles in thin, pale shafts that illuminate the dust of unpaved roads. Sandy Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the brush just a mile away, its banks thick with the tangled green growth of vines that reclaim the margins of the woods. Further out, the horizon is anchored by the distant silhouette of the Pontotoc Ridge, a faint, jagged line that marks the edge of the world, while the deeper stillness of Upper Sardis Wma waits seven miles to the north, offering a vast, untamed expanse of hardwood and scrub.
Tula carries the weight of a long agricultural legacy, where the economy has shifted from the labor of the soil to the slow, steady pulse of timber and small-scale trade. Life here moves in accordance with the seasons, dictated by the heat that rises in shimmering waves from the fields and the cooling relief that settles over Russell Lake three miles distant as the sun dips low. There is a singular, enduring character to the architecture and the people, a sense that the past is not a memory but a constant companion in the rusted metal of old machinery and the weathered wood of front porches. In the hush of the afternoon, when the wind dies down, the silence of the woods presses against the edge of the houses, reminding all who remain that the land is the primary architect of existence here.

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.
