Explore Rosiclare, 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 Rosiclare, 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 Rosiclare.
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.

Rosiclare commands the southern reaches of the Illinois landscape, where the land yields to the heavy, persistent presence of the Ohio River. It lies 38.5 miles east-southeast of Marion, IL (from Marion, IL: bearing 123°T), and is situated 27.3 miles north-northeast of Paducah. The air here holds a distinct, humid weight, and the topography rises in modest, craggy swells toward the elevation of Lavender Hill, standing as a quiet sentinel two miles away. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain folds into the deep, shaded recesses of Coalmine Hollow, while the broader horizon is defined by the dense, untamed thickets of the Kaskaskia Experimental Forest seven miles distant. Light in the late afternoon catches the limestone bluffs, casting long, sharp shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant, tranquil waters of City Lake.
Rosiclare carries the enduring legacy of the fluorspar industry, a mineral wealth that once defined the rhythm of labor and the architecture of the streets. While the heavy machinery of the mines has long since quieted, the remnants of that subterranean enterprise remain etched into the local identity, shaping a character forged by extraction and grit. Life moves with a deliberate, steady cadence, often drifting toward the quiet recreation offered by the nearby Carrsville Riverfront Park, where the slow, brown current of the Ohio River provides a constant, meditative backdrop to the day. The people of Rosiclare maintain a quiet connection to this singular geography, finding beauty in the way the seasons transform the dense woods and the persistent, earthen reality of the river bottomlands.

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.
