How to Use This Union, Mississippi Map

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 occupies a quiet span of earth where the persistent flow of Chunky Creek defines the low-lying terrain, carving a path through the dense, verdant woods of the Mississippi interior. It lies 28.3 miles west-northwest of Meridian, MS (from Meridian, MS: bearing 301°T), and is situated 13.8 miles south of Philadelphia. The landscape here is characterized by a gradual, rhythmic rise and fall of the terrain, a gentle topography that feels removed from the frantic pace of the wider world. Light filters through the canopy in muted, shifting patterns, illuminating the deep silt of the creek beds and the heavy, humid air that clings to the vegetation. Far to the west, the distant silhouette of the Government Hills serves as a faint, jagged reminder of higher ground, while the local moisture pools in the quiet, shaded expanse of Stamper Pond, four miles away, reflecting the stillness of an inland afternoon.

History in Union remains tethered to the slow accumulation of agricultural cycles and the deliberate pace of small-scale commerce that has sustained the inhabitants for generations. The economy draws its strength from the surrounding timber and the rhythms of local industry, where the labor of the hands still dictates the pulse of the day. Life here is measured not by the passage of distant metropolitan trends, but by the maintenance of the land and the quiet resilience of those who dwell upon it. For those seeking the wider reach of the regional landscape, the Dewitt Deweese Memorial Park, located fourteen miles away, offers a expanse of managed nature that complements the wilder, unkempt beauty of the nearby creek banks. In Union, the weight of the past is not a burden but a steadying influence, reflected in the unvarnished character of the streets and the enduring patience of the people.

About This Union Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Union, Mississippi. Coordinates: 32.571128, -89.115203. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Union includes the ZIP code (39149, 39479, 39116), telephone area code (601), county seat of Newton County (Decatur), and school district assignment (Union Public School District).

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.
