How to Use This Murfreesboro, North Carolina Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Murfreesboro, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 Murfreesboro.
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.

ZIP codes: 27855, 27818.Murfreesboro commands a quiet reach of land where the Meherrin River carves a slow, dark path through the damp, fertile soil of the inner coastal plain. It lies 30.9 miles east of Roanoke Rapids, NC (from Roanoke Rapids, NC: bearing 92°T), and is situated 19.0 miles south-southwest of Franklin. The landscape here is defined by low, level expanses of farmland and dense patches of timber that hold the humidity of the afternoon long after the sun has begun to retreat. A mile from the center, the water of Worrell Millpond remains glassy and still, reflecting the thick canopy of hardwoods that characterize the local woods. On the distant horizon, the faint, hazy suggestion of Chestnut Ridge marks the limit of the view, though the immediate world is one of flat, generous fields and the steady, rhythmic growth of seasonal crops.
Murfreesboro carries the weight of centuries in its brick facades and the shaded corridors of Chowan University, which anchors the intellectual and social pulse of the place. The local economy finds its roots in the agrarian traditions of the region, where the labor of the soil remains a tangible link to the past, while the preservation efforts at the nearby Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina Preserve ensure that the architectural heritage of the area is not lost to the erosion of time. Life in Murfreesboro moves with the deliberate pace of a pendulum, marked by the polite exchanges of neighbors and the seasonal shift of shadows across the weathered porches of its oldest homes. It is a place where the history of early commerce and the quiet endurance of the land define the identity of those who remain to cultivate its future.

About This Murfreesboro Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Murfreesboro, North Carolina. Coordinates: 36.442375, -77.098575. 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 Murfreesboro includes the ZIP code (27855, 27818), telephone area code (919, 984), county seat of Hertford County (Winton), and school district assignment (Hertford County Schools).
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.
