Explore Woodland, 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 Woodland, 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 Woodland.
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.

Woodland occupies a quiet expanse of interior Mississippi where the land yields to the rhythmic persistence of Cane Creek. It lies 26.4 miles north-northwest of Starkville, MS (from Starkville, MS: bearing 329°T), and is situated 8.8 miles south-southwest of Houston. The water carves a path through the red clay, its steady movement providing a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the surrounding fields. To the horizon, the silhouette of Choctaw Ridge marks the transition of the terrain, rising in a muted, hazy violet when the afternoon light begins to fail. Nearby, the surface of Childs Lake holds the sky in a mirror of dark glass, undisturbed by the passage of the few travelers who wander this far inland. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a heavy, vegetative fragrance that seems to slow the respiration of anyone passing through.
Woodland grew from the necessity of the soil, its early days defined by the labor of those who worked the thick, stubborn ground for timber and crops. The local economy remains tethered to this primary relationship with the land, though the pace of industry has softened over the generations into a patient, deliberate endurance. Residents often traverse the miles toward Joe Brigance Memorial Park to find a reprieve in the open green spaces, a ritual that speaks to the deep-seated appreciation for the quietude of the backcountry. Life in Woodland persists in the spaces between the seasons, where the legacy of the past is not a museum piece but a lived reality, visible in the weathered wood of old barns and the steady, unpretentious work of those who remain.

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.
