How to Use This Butler, Missouri Map

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

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.

Butler emerges from the expansive Missouri prairie as a place where the horizon seems to stretch indefinitely, defined by the quiet persistence of farmland and the steady rhythm of the seasons. It lies 38.1 miles south of Raymore, MO (from Raymore, MO: bearing 170°T), and is situated 27.3 miles south of Harrisonville. The landscape here is characterized by subtle shifts in elevation, with the distant silhouette of Long Mound rising slightly against the sky to break the otherwise level expanse. Moisture from Mound Branch, which flows just a mile away, provides a vital vein for the local flora, while the calm expanse of Butler Lake sits five miles out, offering a reflective mirror for the shifting clouds. Douglas Park serves as a central green space, grounding the community in a patch of managed earth where the grass catches the golden, heavy light of late afternoon.

Agriculture remains the bedrock of the economy in Butler, with the surrounding fields producing the grains and livestock that have sustained the region for generations. The history of the area is etched into the modest architecture of the streets, where the plain-spoken character of the Midwest finds expression in brick storefronts and homes that prioritize utility and warmth. Life in Butler moves at a measured pace, dictated by the cycles of the harvest and the changing weather that sweeps across the open plains. Local daily existence is marked by the quiet movement of neighbors through the local park, a shared simplicity that defines the identity of the people who call this place home.

About This Butler Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Butler, Missouri. Coordinates: 38.258635, -94.330506. 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 Butler includes the ZIP code (64730), telephone area code (816), county seat of Bates County (Butler), and school district assignment (Butler R-V 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.
