How to Use This Waltonville, Illinois Map

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

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.

Waltonville exists as a quiet anchor amidst the vast, flat expanse of the Illinois prairie, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a sky that feels immense. It lies 10.5 miles southwest of Mount Vernon, IL (from Mount Vernon, IL: bearing 225°T), and is situated 8.1 miles north of Sesser. The landscape around Waltonville is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of agricultural fields that turn from the deep green of early summer corn to the brittle gold of autumn soybeans. Water marks the low-lying edges of the terrain, where the slow, narrow path of Knob Prairie Creek meanders through the landscape, and the quiet surface of Mine Number 21 Reservoir reflects the shifting light of the clouds. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Moores Hill rises faintly against the backdrop of the plains, providing a singular point of verticality in an otherwise horizontal world.

Industry in Waltonville carries the weight of a long regional history tied to the earth, where the legacy of extraction once shaped the local economy and defined the rhythm of daily life. Today, the pace is dictated by the seasons and the cycle of the harvest, echoing the persistence of those who first settled these plains to work the dark, fertile soil. Nearby, the expansive grounds of Rend Lake serve as a primary space for recreation, offering a stillness that complements the steady, industrious nature of the surrounding fields. Life here is measured in the changing colors of the crops and the long, thin shadows that stretch across the rural roads at dusk, creating a quiet atmosphere where the land remains the primary architect of the day.

About This Waltonville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Waltonville, Illinois. Coordinates: 38.208939, -89.03896. 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 Waltonville includes the ZIP code (62894), telephone area code (618), county seat of Jefferson County (Mount Vernon), and school district assignment (Waltonville Community Unit School District 1).

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.
