Explore Union, 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 Union, 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 Union.
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.

Union emerges from the landscape as a quiet convergence of pine-shadowed ridges and open fields, defined primarily by the slow, persistent passage of the Gully Branch that carves its path through the earth nearby. It lies 9.8 miles north-northeast of Petal, MS (from Petal, MS: bearing 21°T), and is situated 8.6 miles south of Ellisville. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, particularly in the moments when the afternoon light turns a deep, bruised gold against the encroaching woodland. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the terrain rises toward the distant silhouette of Buffalo Hill, providing a firm, earthen anchor to the horizon. Travelers venturing eight miles from the center might find the quiet, unremarkable expanse of Unknown Park, while the broader geography is shaped by the subtle shifts of the earth leading toward the low depression of Grantham Bay.
Union carries the weight of a long-settled history, where the rhythms of the local economy have shifted from the labor of the soil to the steady pulse of industry and regional trade. The legacy of the railroad once dictated the pace of growth, leaving behind a character that values endurance and the particular, measured speech of those who have worked this land for generations. Life in Union maintains a deliberate speed, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger world, with residents often finding their leisure in the nearby natural spaces or the simple habits of a working day. Whether looking toward the distant waters of Lake Bogue Homo or observing the daily cycle of commerce in the center, there is a sense of permanence in the way the architecture clings to the red clay, reflecting a community that has quietly organized itself around the necessities of its environment.

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.
