Explore Affton, Missouri, 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 Affton, Missouri. 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 Missouri 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 Affton.
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.

Affton reveals itself through a landscape defined by sturdy, unassuming ridges and the quiet persistence of the Midwestern interior. It lies 2.2 miles northeast of Concord, MO (from Concord, MO: bearing 36°T), and is situated 9.0 miles southwest of St. Louis. The terrain around Affton rises and falls in modest, rhythmic swells that hold the heat of the afternoon sun against the deep green of local woodlands. Gravois Creek cuts a serpentine path through the landscape, its waters moving with a deliberate, steady pace that has carved the land over countless seasons. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Crescent Hills provides a subtle, hazy boundary against the expansive Missouri sky. When the light shifts toward dusk, the shadows lengthen across the grass, turning the horizon into a soft, textured gray that feels both ancient and immediate.
German and Alsatian settlers first recognized the fertility of this soil, establishing farms that laid the groundwork for the industrious character of Affton. Over the decades, the economy transitioned from purely agricultural pursuits to a balanced mix of local commerce and small-scale manufacturing that serves the broader metropolitan region. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to a plain-spoken work ethic, where the clatter of commerce is tempered by the quietude of residential streets. While the landscape is largely shaped by human endeavor, there is a lingering sense of the original prairie spirit in the way the local businesses anchor the community. People here value a reliable trade and the steady hum of a town that knows exactly how to maintain its own modest, functional identity.
Cultural life in Affton finds its pulse in shared spaces like Grant'S Trail, where residents traverse the old corridors that once connected the region to its frontier roots. The neighborhood landscape is punctuated by the presence of Ulysses S. Grant, whose historical influence remains a quiet touchstone for those who appreciate the weight of the past. Annual festivals and local gatherings act as the glue for the population, offering a simple, direct way for neighbors to mark the passing of the year. While Lake of the Woods sits just a few miles away, providing a reflective expanse for those seeking a moment of stillness, the true character of the area is found in its people. Affton persists as a place of grounded, honest endurance, uninterested in pretension and deeply comfortable in its own skin.

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.
