How to Use This Coatsburg, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Coatsburg, 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 Coatsburg.

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.

Coatsburg anchors itself firmly within a flat, industrious expanse of Illinois, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that seems to possess more room than the earth itself. It lies 14.9 miles east-northeast of Quincy, IL (from Quincy, IL: bearing 63°T), and is situated 24.8 miles north-northeast of Hannibal. The landscape here is defined by the steady work of agricultural cycles, where the soil holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has begun its descent. A mile away, the quiet passage of Brushy Creek carves a thin, wooded vein through the fields, providing a cool contrast to the sun-baked rows of corn and soybeans that dominate the view. To the west, the distant silhouette of Long Ridge marks the limit of the plains, a faint, jagged line that barely breaks the heavy, humid air of late summer. Even the light here carries a specific weight, turning the dust of the harvest into a fine, golden powder that settles over the roads and leaves the world in a state of muted, amber clarity.

Coatsburg grew from the necessity of the rail, a point on the map where the movement of grain and goods once dictated the pulse of daily life. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, an unpretentious cycle of planting and reaping that has outlasted the original iron tracks. While the pace of modern life hums in the distance, local life retains a grounded quality, focused on the maintenance of homesteads and the shared stewardship of the surrounding land. Those seeking the quiet depth of the natural world often look toward the limestone formations of Burton Cave State Natural Area, eleven miles away, or the still, reflective water of Columbus Dry Gulch Club Lake, which sits four miles from the center. Life in Coatsburg is measured not by sudden changes, but by the slow, reliable turn of the year and the enduring presence of the fields that frame every street and yard.

About This Coatsburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Coatsburg, Illinois. Coordinates: 40.032825, -91.15764. 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 Coatsburg includes the ZIP code (62325), telephone area code (217), county seat of Adams County (Quincy), and school district assignment (Central CUSD 3).

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.
