How to Use This Darmstadt, Illinois Map

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

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.

About Darmstadt, Illinois

Darmstadt is a locality in St. Clair County, Illinois, United States. It is a small community with a population of 49. The population density is 262.8 people per km². Darmstadt is located at 38.3209°N, 89.7318°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 62255.

Darmstadt anchors itself firmly amidst the expansive, fertile plains of southern Illinois, where the horizon stretches wide under an immense, unblinking sky. It lies 18.9 miles south-southeast of Shiloh, IL (from Shiloh, IL: bearing 152°T), and is situated 19.4 miles southeast of Belleville. The land around Darmstadt manifests as a steady, agricultural expanse, characterized by the dark, nutrient-rich soil that defines the regional character and supports a landscape of disciplined crop rows. Two miles away, the quiet passage of Mud Creek carves a narrow, wooded vein through the fields, providing a necessary moisture that sustains the local flora, while the more distant, elevated silhouette of Pleasant Ridge breaks the otherwise level line of the horizon. During the golden hour, the light here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, turning the vast stretches of corn and soybeans into a shimmering sea of amber and emerald that seems to vibrate against the cooling air.

Darmstadt carries the weight of a settlement forged by the industrious spirit of nineteenth-century immigrants who recognized the potential of this inland prairie. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the seasons, with the cycles of planting and harvest dictating the pulse of daily activity. Residents often venture toward the Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Area, four miles away, to find a reprieve from the labor of the fields, or look toward the quiet surface of Marissa Reservoir, located five miles distant, for a moment of stillness. Life in Darmstadt proceeds with a deliberate, pragmatic grace, defined less by grand monuments and more by the enduring maintenance of a heritage built on persistence, the steady hum of machinery, and a deep, unspoken familiarity with the changing temper of the Illinois climate.

About This Darmstadt Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Darmstadt, Illinois. Coordinates: 38.320882, -89.731764. 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 Darmstadt includes the ZIP code (62255), telephone area code (217), county seat of St. Clair County (Belleville), and school district assignment (Marissa Community Unit School District 40).

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.
