Explore Tutwiler, 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 Tutwiler, 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 Tutwiler.
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.

Tutwiler anchors itself to the flat, expansive reach of the Mississippi Delta, where the horizon pulls tight against a sky that seems to possess more weight than the earth itself. It lies 15.1 miles south-southeast of Clarksdale, MS (from Clarksdale, MS: bearing 148°T), and is situated 15.2 miles north-northeast of Drew. The land here is a monochromatic expanse of alluvial soil, broken only by the thin, dark veins of drainage ditches and the occasional stand of timber that marks the path of Watson Bayou just two miles from the center of the grid. During the humid transitions of dusk, the light loses its harshness, casting a pale, bruised violet across the fields that renders the distant tree lines into mere silhouettes. Six miles away, the acreage managed by the Farm Service Agency Interest Of Ms offers a quiet sanctuary for migratory birds, a stark contrast to the relentless, industrial geometry of the surrounding cotton and soybean rows that define the rhythm of the seasons.
Tutwiler carries the quiet gravity of a place where history is measured in the slow accumulation of dust and the persistence of the blues. The economy remains tethered to the cyclical demands of agriculture, a reality that dictates the pace of life as surely as the seasonal turning of the irrigation pivots. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape opens toward the wider basin, where the water table remains high and the presence of Buzzard Bayou Lake, ten miles out, serves as a reminder of the shifting, saturated nature of this geography. There is a particular, unadorned beauty in the way the local architecture—low-slung, utilitarian, and worn by the sun—sits against the vastness of the plains. Life here moves with a deliberate, singular intensity, rooted in the deep, heavy loam that has sustained the local spirit through generations of labor and song.

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.
