How to Use This Bethany, Missouri Map

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

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.

Bethany emerges from the expansive Missouri plains as a quiet intersection of open sky and deep, productive soil. It lies 20.6 miles east-southeast of Poplar Bluff, MO (from Poplar Bluff, MO: bearing 119°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west-northwest of Malden. The horizon remains wide and unencumbered, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Ash Hills that trace a jagged line against the western sunset. To the east, the land softens into the verdant, dense canopy of Wilhelmina State Forest, where the air holds the damp, cool scent of decaying leaves and ancient timber. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, amber clarity, casting long shadows across the fields and turning the water of Devasia Lake into a sheet of polished, dark slate. A few miles away, the Saint Francis River carves a serpentine path through the terrain, its banks lined with the steady, patient growth of cottonwoods that lean toward the current.

Bethany functions as a steady pulse of agricultural commerce, defined by a history of homesteading and the hard-won resilience of those who first broke the prairie sod. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, where the success of the harvest dictates the quiet prosperity of the storefronts and the slow, deliberate pace of daily errands. Life in Bethany moves with an understated, plain-spoken grace, shaped by a legacy of self-reliance that values a sturdy handshake over hollow ceremony. Residents often seek the solitude of Morris State Park on weekends, finding a brief, necessary stillness among the native grasses and quiet clearings. Whether measured by the heavy yield of the grain trucks or the simple endurance of the family farms, the identity of Bethany persists as a grounded, honest reflection of the plains themselves.

About This Bethany Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bethany, Missouri. Coordinates: 40.268164, -94.029822. 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 Bethany includes the ZIP code (63933, 64424), telephone area code (816), county seat of Dunklin County (Kennett), and school district assignment (South Harrison County R-II School District).

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.
