Explore Bunker Hill, Illinois, 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 Bunker Hill, Illinois. 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 Illinois 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 Bunker Hill.
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.

Bunker Hill emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of the Illinois prairie as a quiet collection of brick storefronts and wood-frame houses held in the steady light of the Midwest. It lies 14.0 miles east-northeast of Godfrey, IL (from Godfrey, IL: bearing 64°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west-northwest of Staunton. The land here holds the stillness of deep soil, stretching out in a rhythmic succession of agricultural fields that turn from the pale green of early spring to the heavy, burnished gold of harvest. Paddock Creek carves a thin, shadowed line through the landscape just a mile away, its banks thick with brush and the quiet industry of local wildlife, while the nearby waters of Barths Lake reflect the shifting, bruised purples of late afternoon clouds. On the furthest edge of the horizon, the faint, hazy silhouette of Goat Ranch Ridge reminds the traveler of the slow, tectonic shifts that once shaped this broad interior basin.
Bunker Hill preserves the quiet endurance of a settlement built upon the cycles of the grain elevator and the seasonal pulse of the surrounding farms. The local economy remains anchored to the earth, grounded in the labor of those who work the black soil and the commerce of a main street that has seen generations come and go beneath its weathered awnings. Life here finds a communal center at Bunker Hill Legion Park, a space where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the wind through the trees. Small town life in Bunker Hill is defined by these enduring connections, where the weight of history is felt not in grand monuments, but in the persistent, functional beauty of a place that continues to grow its own sustenance out of the wide, sun-drenched plains.

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.
