Explore Ellisville, 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 Ellisville, 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 Ellisville.
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.

Ellisville occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Spoon River carves a serpentine path through the dark, fertile loam of the Illinois prairie. It lies 14.9 miles west-northwest of Canton, IL (from Canton, IL: bearing 289°T), and is situated 13.3 miles south-southeast of Abingdon. The horizon here is dominated by the relentless geometry of corn and soybean fields, a vast, flat expanse that seems to inhale the sky and hold it close to the earth. Sunlight in these parts possesses a heavy, amber quality as it slants across the fields at dusk, illuminating the dust motes and the skeletal silhouettes of old oaks. To the north, the distant profile of Hoxie Ridge provides a faint, jagged punctuation to the skyline, while closer to the center of things, the landscape dips toward the gentle depression of Big Hollow, where the air grows cooler and carries the damp scent of river mud. Mount Pisgah County Park offers a sanctuary of unmanicured thickets and tall grasses, grounding the locality in a quiet, wild persistence that ignores the frantic pace of the modern world.
History in Ellisville remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of the soil, reflecting a time when the labor of the hands dictated the rhythm of the calendar. The local economy persists in a steady dance with the seasons, moving from the frantic urgency of planting to the heavy, golden exhaustion of the harvest. Life here is defined by the proximity to the Spoon River and the occasional excursion to Sweeneys Pond, where the water mirrors the shifting gray and blue of the Midwestern sky with a stillness that feels ancient. There is a profound honesty in the brick facades and the gravel roads that spiderweb out from the center, connecting the individual homesteads to a shared, unspoken heritage. People here recognize that their lives are measured by the slow accumulation of winters and the cyclical return of the green, a quiet endurance that finds beauty in the straightforward utility of the land.

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.
